About us
Welcome to one of the biggest dive communities in the Northeast! Big Apple Divers, a non-profit (501c7) scuba diving club, has been serving NYC & the surrounding area since 1971.
Among our members, you'll find divers with a wide variety of experiences:
• Those new to diving, expert divers, & instructors
• Cold water aficionados as well as those who prefer warm water only
• Recreational divers, underwater photographers, technical divers, & those who prefer certain types of dives (e.g., shore, boat, big animal, wreck, macro, cave, etc.).
• Divers who only get wet once a year on vacation & dive warriors who dive every chance they get
Interested in meeting like-minded people who love diving & the ocean? Our club offers diving, monthly presentations, an underwater photographic society and social events like happy hours and dinners.
This Meetup group & some of our club events are open to the public. However, we do not post our club dives on Meetup since only paid members can dive with us. Sign up for just $25/year & you'll also get access to our exclusive Google Group email list, monthly newsletter, and get an invite to our annual holiday party among a number of other perks.
Follow us on other social media: Instagram and our Facebook Group.
