Club - Open to All Our 'club' doesn't have any required meetings or membership rolls that
take up valuable time that could be spent underwater, we just go diving and have fun! We would love to have you join us on
any of the dives, meetings/socials or any of the other events. Please let us know if you have any questions or suggestions
for what we might plan next. All activities are free, unless otherwise noted.
Shore Dives Our Club shore dives are free, no cost dives open to all divers (Unless the dive site has entry fees) who
have experience diving in cold water. Please come join us, we look forwards to meeting you or seeing you again! Cold water
experience means you know how to dive in at least a 7mm wetsuit or drysuit - if you got certified in this area or down in
Monterey, you have that experience!. If you are new to cold water diving we ask that you go out for a day of diving
with one of our staff to get acquainted with the buoyancy of the thick suits and figure out your weighting, after that you
would be welcome to join our shore and boat dives.
Gear Requirements Each
diver needs to bring all necessary gear to the beach with them. You can meet us at the shop at the designated time to carpool/pick
up tanks & weights only (Please come earlier if you need other gear), or you can meet us at the site with all the necessary
gear. Rental Gear Special:
Anyone joining any of our shore dives gets 50% the rental fees for any gear they need to join the dive that is rented from
Seattle Scuba... just let us know when you are renting that you are joining the club dive!
General Information Our dive staff will be on site to give you an overview of the dive site and lend
you a hand if you need it, but these are not guided, supervised or instructional dives. The dive site descriptions are not meant to be used as any type of dive advice, or guarantee
that it is suitable to the level of any particular diver. It is general info and recommendations only. Doing your own research
is great, and knowing your own abilities and skill level is even better, and you should always be sure that you and your buddy(s)
are comfortable doing a dive before you embark upon it.
Be sure to check in with our staff and sign in if you are participating in our club dives. You don't
have any excuse now not to go diving. It's free!
