What we’re about
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, & social events like happy hours & 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, & get an invite to our annual holiday party among a number of other perks.
Follow us on other social media: Instagram, Twitter, & our Facebook Group.

Join us for the club’s next meeting 📆 on May 7.
Alexis Rockman, a renowned American contemporary artist, will tell us about how growing up in New York City shaped his paintings of future landscapes depicting the impact of climate change, species extinction, and evolution influenced by genetic engineering.
Alexis's work has been exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum, Smithsonian American Art Museum, and numerous galleries around the world. He also worked with Oscar-winning film director Ang Lee on watercolor concept paintings and visual sequences for the movie Life of Pi.
