The San Jose Flipper Dippers
Celebrating 45 Years !
A Skin & Scuba Diving Club - For All The Right Reasons
The San Jose Flipper Dippers dive club is one of the oldest clubs in the Bay Area - established in 1964. We have over 100 members and have dives and other activities scheduled almost every weekend during the year.
You can always find someone to dive with! Scuba dives, free diving, charter boat dives, abalone diving, spear fishing, photography, lobster dives . . . just to name a few.
GENERAL MEETINGS
Divers and non-divers alike are welcome to Club meetings!
General Meetings are held at the Santa Maria Hall of the Knights of Columbus, 2211 Shamrock Drive, Campbell, which is off S. Bascom Avenue near Camden Avenue. Map/Directions
The Club's General Meetings are on the 3rd Wednesday of each month.
The meetings start at 7:30 PM.
Club dues are $40 per year. Recognized certification card and a 3-dive initiation is required before being voted into the club. See Membership Requirements
A monthly newsletter is sent to all prospective and regular members. You can pick up the latest issue at many dive shops including Stan's on Bascom Ave., in San Jose, Any Water Sports on Saratoga Ave., also in San Jose, and Diver Dan's on El Camino Real, in Santa Clara.
The Purpose of the Club today remains as it was when originally founded:
To promote active participation in diving for safety, education and pleasure.
To encourage the conservation of all marine life by obeying all Federal and State game laws and urging others to do likewise.
To take an active interest in and to stimulate legislature favorable to, and promoting, the sport of "Skin and Scuba Diving."
To promote safety on the beaches as well as in the water.
To encourage good sportsmanship and cooperation in our club - and with other diving clubs - and to extend the universal fraternal courtesy to all fishermen and women, boaters and swimmers.
To volunteer services and facilities of the club to civil authorities whenever needed.
To carry on extensive research concerning underwater safety, new diving equipment and to promote an information service and training to all entering into the sport of skin and Scuba diving.
The Club offers its members a wide variety of skin and Scuba diving activities and other social, sport, recreational and community service projects in which participation is both enjoyable and rewarding.
