We must be blessed. The LDS I frequent most has a good web site with it's own message board (no for sale items allowed ) It allows divers to connect with new buddies and there are postings there for singles and/or groups all season long.
The stores (small chain of 3) organize several dives/events throughout the season. While they have "big" trips, such as charters in Kingston, most common is a Sat or Sun group dive. They bring the bbq, usually some spare gas, and all their safety kit (oxygen, etc). As well any certified divers are welcome to show up on their OW weekends and dive. Another great opportunity for those who don't have a regular buddy. A staff diver will be assigned to organize and help out (and keep you out of the way of the students and other staff ).
