About the event

Heading North! - Pearl Lake
🎉 Make a Splash with MDS at Pearl Lake! 🎉

🌊 Ready for another #DiveLocal underwater experience? The MDS crew is heading to Pearl Lake in South Beloit, IL, and you’re invited to dive in with us for two full days of fun, certifications, and fun memories.

🤿 Whether you’re looking to get certified or just dive for fun, we’ve got something for everyone! From Open Water and Advanced Open Water certifications to many specialty opportunities, this weekend promises excitement for all skill levels. Our DPVs (Diver Propulsion Vehicles) might make an appearance for a fun certification opportunity, adding an extra dash of excitement to the mix! It's your chance to knock out those certs before the colder months hit.

You’re responsible for your own adventure, including travel, accommodations, food, drinks, and dive entry fees.
Don’t forget your gear! If you need rentals, swing by or call MDS – we’ve got everything you need for a fun dive experience! Note: The dive shop at Pearl Lake is closed, so make sure you have ALL your gear, including tanks, as air fills won’t be available on-site.
For accommodations, there are many hotels in the Pearl Lake area for you to make reservations at. We’ll try to organize a group dinner Saturday night at a local restaurant. Stay tuned at the dive site for details!

❓ Questions?
Give us a call at the dive shop, and we’ll be happy to discuss the training options, gear rentals, and help you get ready for a fun dive weekend!
