What we're about
About the 3R-Tours:
Experiential learning is sponsored by the San Diego Council Of Divers.
What is Rocks, Rips, & Reefs (a.k.a. 3Rs-Tours)? The 3Rs is an education and safety program for Divers and experienced Snorkelers and Swimmers. Participants learn about various dive sites to get a better understanding of the underwater features and how tides and conditions may affect them which is beneficial to both the new Diver and experienced veterans.
The program includes EIGHT (8/Summer) in-water tours, each site led by experienced instructors so participants can experience first-hand how to safely enter and exit sites, how to recognize hazards, and how to enter and handle themselves in emergency situations. The events are a lot of fun, adventurous, and a great opportunity to learn about various dive sites. Most importantly, the experience will help you be a better and safer diver no matter where you go.

Let me be the first to announce - the first ever San Diego Council of Divers "Treasure Hunt" is set for launch. Sign-ups for this amazing event will open Saturday morning at the Birdrock 3R's event.
Registration is $60 for non-members, but only $50 for members.

> $4000 Prizes - Each Treasure Hunt will feature a 1st and 2nd place prize, as well as a 3rd place prize for all who successfully locate the in-water site.
Grand Prize - There will be a grand prize drawing at the end of the 3Rs season open to all paid registrants.
In addition, there will be a series of raffel prizes available all to those who attend the 3R's end-of-year BBQ/Grand Prize Drawing - Tickets for the raffel will be available for purchase on the morning of the big drawing ($50 each with no chance for the HUNT prizes).
Finally, a huge thank you is due and well deserved, to our sponsor: House of Scuba stepped up very early, to offer their support in making this a reality for San Diego and its Aquatic Community.
