What Divepoint Scuba & Adventure Center Offers: Gear, Classes, and Dive Trips

Updated

Divepoint Scuba & Adventure Center is a full-time outdoor specialty shop at 944 Main Street in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, carrying scuba, climbing, swim, camping, and longboarding gear, plus weekly scuba classes and organized dive trips. It is the place to check if you want to buy or rent dive equipment, get certified, or join a group trip to Bonaire, Fiji, or the Caribbean. Two things to know before you go: the Wausau location has closed and been sold, and the shop no longer sells or rents kayaks or paddleboards.

Gear and Equipment

The shop describes itself as an adventure store and stocks a broad mix of outdoor categories rather than diving alone:

  • Scuba gear
  • Climbing equipment
  • Swimwear
  • Camping gear
  • Longboards
  • Backpacks and other outdoor specialty items

Scuba rentals are also offered, so you can try diving or fill a gap in your own kit without buying everything up front. Because the shop notes that staffing is limited, it's worth calling ahead if you need something specific or want to confirm rental availability.

Scuba Classes and Certifications

Divepoint runs weekly scuba classes and offers certifications. The site points you to the class schedule to find dates that fit your calendar, and the owners, Bob and Carrie, have shifted their focus toward scuba classes, equipment, and trips.

If you're starting from zero, the practical path is:

  1. Check the weekly class dates on the site.
  2. Call 715-344-DIVE (3483) with questions about which class or certification level fits you.
  3. Confirm what gear you need to bring versus what the shop provides through rentals.

Dive Trips

Trips are a core part of what Divepoint does, and the current lineup shows how far ahead these fill up:

Destination Dates Status
Bonaire October 31 – November 7, 2026 Currently full; waiting list available
Fiji, Waidroka Bay January 23 – February 4, 2027 Currently full; waiting list available
Spring break trip March 20 – 27 (year not stated) In planning; check the site for updates

For both full trips, the shop says that if you're very interested, they can add you to a waiting list. Beyond these scheduled trips, Divepoint plans a Bonaire trip every year in October or November, plus winter trips to other dive destinations such as Roatan, Cozumel, and the Cayman Islands. The Dive Trips tab on the website carries the details, and the shop asks visitors to check back often since plans are updated there.

What's Changed

A few services and locations are no longer available, which matters if you're working from older information:

  • Wausau location: closed and sold.
  • Kayaks and paddleboards: no longer for sale or for rent.

The remaining focus is scuba classes, equipment, and trips, along with the broader adventure gear the Stevens Point store carries.
