What is the Wrinkles Dive?

This is a monthly gathering of all divers and non-divers in SoCal who can make it. It's a lot of fun involving diving, eating, socializing and last month even camping!

It all started when our SoCal member, Wrinkles, mentioned to a group that she dove with that it would be really fun to be able to get together at least once a month. Pasley, took off with the idea and announced the first "Wrinkles Dive". The rest is history!

It's open to everyone of all skill levels from "I'm not certified yet" to "Do we really have to dive the Andrea Doria again?"

We've found this to be a great way to meet our fellow divers locally and many new dive buddies have been found though these "dive soirees".

The extensive menu seemingly offers something for everyone... Prices are inexpensive to moderate."

[concerned]

I was just over at the new board Dive Matrix. This gathering was posted there too. Over there everyone is talking about some filthy, degrating things some **** will do with a banana and whip cream. What kind of way is this to promote an event for the dive community and say it is a family gathering? I for one, and I do know others, will not attend because of this kind of behavior. I was at one of these smut gatherings in the past, and one girl was even showing her boobs to everyone, by the way, the one that the gathering is named after. Instead of boycotting sport chalet, I think we should boycott this event. Come on Christian, get a clue. We don't want this kind of thing going on at a dive. You need to get a grip, change the name, and control yourselves. And ScubaBoard, you allow this here? I have just set back in the background watching this happen for a couple years now. I am going to start a one woman crusade against this event! I will contact every diver I know, and tell them to read those posts at Dive Matrix, and make a decision as to support or run you perverts off the boards. We need to take back our forums for diving. Go to the pornsites if you want adult entertainment. Leave the dive forums for what they are intended for, diving!
