Looking for dive buddies

[Dantheman]

Hi, I am recently PADI OW certified (currently in AOW classes) and I am looking for a few good dive buddies! Or any other dive opportunities. I am in southern California and willing to do anything within my skill level. Beach, boat, freshwater, anything! Please PM me if you are interested. Thanks!

This post would be better placed in the So California area.

I would direct you to the following webiste
http://www.sandeaters.org/

The Sandeaters is NOT A CLUB, no dues, officers or membershp. It is a scheduling group that publishes a calander on the web of where people will be diving every Sunday if you want to come along. You can also send out an e-mail via their list to hussle up a dive on another time of locaiton. So dive clubs you could joing are:

http://www.seadivers.org/
http://southcoastdivers.com/
http://www.solesearchersdiveclub.com/
http://www.glacd.org/

Or you can PM me.

IMHO, if you want a little more "guidance" try the southcoastdivers.com link that pasley gave you. I did sandeaters when I was new and it's a little more intimidating to be a newbie ther.

Just MHO, and others will have different experiences. I learned everything I knwo about beach diving from RichP and south coast divers. If you let him know you're new, you'll get a little extra attention

southcoast divers is affiliated somehow with Orange County Scuba Divers club, or something like that, but you do not have to join anything to dive with them on Saturday mornings (in and around Laguna Beach)

Dan,
I go diving locally (Laguna or Catalina but open to others) almost every weekend and am always looking for more buddies. Send me a PM and lets talk. Where are you located?
