Upcoming Dives
No Dive Reports This Week
Unfortunately, both of last weekend’s dive days were cancelled due to poor weather conditions. As always, your safety is our priority, and we’ll never head out unless conditions are right. We look forward to getting back in the water soon!
Winter Dive Schedule Update
As the cooler months approach, we're adjusting our boat dive schedule to reflect the change in season. Starting in June, the club will move from operating dives on both Saturdays and Sundays each weekend to an alternating weekend schedule—meaning the boat will head out either Saturday or Sunday, not both.
Dive days will alternate each weekend, so be sure to check the calendar carefully when planning your trips.
June dives are already available to book via the club calendar, so secure your spot early and don't miss out!
Stay warm, dive safe, and we’ll see you on (and under) the water.
