What we're about
Club Overview
The Scubadillo Dive Club, affectionately known as the 'Dillos, has been goin' down since 1984. One of the oldest and the largest dive clubs in North Texas this is definitely the place to be. The club is involved in diving education, diving techniques and physiology, the marine environment and social events with other divers. We welcome all divers old, new and wannabes alike! Even if you're not sure whether diving is for you, come to a meeting and talk to some of our members.
The 'Dillos are a major force in the North Texas diving community. Working with dive shops, manufactures, distributors and our friends in other area dive clubs such as the Diving Rebels, Reef Riders, Texins, DUPS and FINZ, we strive to give all area divers a group not only to dive with but to dive with safely, learn and socialize. We want every diver to find a "home" and friends to dive with. The members of the 'Dillos comprise a wide and diverse range of individuals.
Our sole purpose is to provide a place for divers at any level to congregate, educate and socialize. Tech Divers can find others with mixed gas, decompression, extended range, deep and cave experience with certifications from TDI, ANDI and IANTD; even commercial diving experience.
If you want to dive and be around divers in North Texas.... you've found a home!

It was such a great success last year, we're doing it again!
Are you planning to buy a new or used wetsuit? Maybe some fins? How about an underwater camera, mask, snorkel or other scuba diving gear and toys?
The Scubadillo Dive Club will have an exclusive YARD SALE Saturday, March 25, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. at the Bent Tree West Swim and Tennis Club located in far North Dallas (*details below).
“Exclusive” means that vendors/sellers will be selling only dive-related items, including underwater cameras and photography equipment. No kitchenware, furniture, antiques or collectibles.
Vendors will be either dive clubs or individual divers who have amassed a “store full” of items that need a new home. This is a great opportunity for new and seasoned divers to find used or new gear for a great price.
Plus, you’ll meet lots of other scuba divers to share tips and information, and learn about enchanting dive destinations around the globe!
Interested in selling?
Good. We still have room to add a few more vendors. The 15 “booths” are the clubhouse parking spots, each 10 feet wide. You’ll need to provide your own tables, chairs, etc.
You’re welcome to set up a small pop-up tent, no wider than 10 feet. However, if your tent is larger, buy two or more spots and stretch out..
Rental per spot is $10 for paid Scubadillo members, $20 for non-members.
If you want to be a vendor, please register on our website. You may also email Scubadillo board member Mona Valentine at [masked]. Spaces are filling up, so act soon.
Purchasing
At the official Scubadillo booth, we will take CASH or CREDIT CARDS. No checks.
Individual vendors will determine their own payment options.
See you March 25!
