All divers planning on attending need to be experienced divers in our area and should have dove in the last year. Club dives are not intro to cold water events or scuba refreshers. If you want to join our dives but need a refresher or you need an intro to cold water diving please call the shop and we will arrange it for you.

Divers are encouraged to bring their own dive buddies. If you don't have a buddy come anyway and we will buddy you up with another single diver.
