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.

Our club has General Meetings the First Wednesday of every month at the Central YMCA, 1717 The Alameda, San Jose, California just off Hwy 880. Map/Directions 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

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.
