Morning Dive at Crescent Bay (Laguna)
Details
Crescent Bay presents a wealth of opportunities for divers, featuring a cove approximately a quarter-mile long and rocky formations at both its northern and southern ends that support a diverse range of marine life.
IMPORTANT: Please show up early to get good parking! Otherwise, you will have a walk. Meet us by the top of the stairs next to "Circle Way" leading down to the Cove. Be cautious not to disturb neighbors as this is a residential area.
Look for parking around "Cliff drive", or if full, check out the "Next level up" off Crescent Bay drive (Left off of PCH), follow the road around to where the road starts to go down hill, park off to the left somewhere.
Please make sure to sign our liability releases online once per calendar year. It's quick and easy, just follow this link: (http://waiver.powerscuba.org)
Bring two tanks if you have them.
Check the start time in the header. Please be on time and set your RSVP to 'no' if you can't make it. We will get into the water about 10 minutes after the start time.
Bring all of your own dive gear (including weights and tanks). Check our Shops and Instructors list in the Discussions/Message Board area if you need to rent something. A tarp is good for gearing up/down.
Your hosts are volunteers and there at the event to dive themselves. If you are here on vacation and need a guide or training, there are professional dive operations that provide these services. Do not expect to buddy with the host, but you can usually find a buddy at the event.
- Ensure you are properly weighted!
- You must perform a good Pre-Dive Buddy Check prior to water entry.
- You are responsible for yourself on every dive. Not the host, lifeguards, your more-competent buddy, nor anyone else. Only YOU.
SEE YOU THERE!!!

ADMIN STUFF YOU MUST READ:
The Virtual Donation Jar[ (https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/f433c0f4-116c-4e51-9e77-1527d9a8667b)](https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/f433c0f4-116c-4e51-9e77-1527d9a8667b) to cover the cost of maintaining our organization and general fund. It's strictly voluntary but is very much appreciated and needed.
Disclaimer and Clarification
Anyone with a medical condition possibly counter indicative to diving must have a doctor's signature on a diving waiver form and submit a signed form to Bill Powers (or an organizer) before they may attend any Power Scuba event. YOU MAY NOT ATTEND AN EVENT WITH UNDISCLOSED MEDICAL CONDITION. Doing so is grounds for expulsion from the group.
Attending any scuba event Power Scuba facilitates constitutes attendee's affirmation they are medically fit to dive, have read the Terms and Conditions, and have submitted a signed Liability Release to an organizer... and that your buddy (if any) has done the same.
Important Note: It is not the organizer's role to lead your dive. He/she merely facilitates you getting to the pre-dive meeting location. The Organizer will not assign you a buddy nor will he/she be leading the dive as a "group dive". Visibility and liability do not allow for that. When you enter the water, you are on your own. You must plan and execute your dive with your dive buddy only. Once members arrive at the meeting spot, the Organizer becomes simply another diver.
Your participation constitutes your affirmation you agree to these above rules and disclaimers.
