The LA Area Scuba Meetup Group

Welcome to the So Cal Scuba Meetup Group. Join us for local dive trips and events as well as some amazing international trips to those warm, exotic destinations we all crave.

Upcoming trips include Cozumel, Socorro, Raja Ampat and Truk Lagoon, as well as local trips. We'll also keep you posted on other scuba and photo events in the Southern California area.

Like to take pictures? Many of us are photographers of all levels and with all sizes of cameras shooting stills and video. All our trips are photo-oriented, but you certainly don't need to be a photographer to join us. If you're just starting out, we are very happy to help you learn how to use your camera or improve your shooting skills.

Our trips have a long-standing reputation of being both fun and informative. We'd love to have you join us!

Let's go diving!!

  I so wish I was going with the group but i am doing a nearly identical trip this December. I would love to get involved in some diving tips that don't require 8 ml wetsuits or drysuits (i.e. California) I would love to see some short trips to places with WARM WATER!! I really want to improve my dive skills!

"I'm a Rescue Diver with over 300 dives. In 2010 I spent 3 months surveying coral reef in Mexico, but due to having a beautiful baby girl I haven't been diving for a while. Desperate to get under the water and am looking for buddies for local dives."
