About us
Kelp Forest Club is for people who feel most alive in or near the ocean.
We’re building a community around:
Local LA scuba dives & kelp forest adventures
Dive trips (Catalina and beyond)
Ocean education, conservation, and cleanups
You don’t have to be an expert diver. You don’t need fancy gear.
If you’re certified, curious, or just ocean-obsessed, you belong here!
We believe diving is better with good people, shared experiences, and respect for the ocean that gives us so much.
Come dive with us.
Make friends.
Get salty.

Kelp Forest Club @ Avalon Harbor Underwater Cleanup
Avalon Harbor, Avalon, CA, USKelp Forest Club are joining the Avalon Harbor Underwater Cleanup on Feb. 21, 2026.
One of Southern California's major dive events and the only time scuba diving is allowed in Avalon Harbor! Cleanup attracts more than 600 volunteer divers who collect trash and debris.
This cleanup is organized by Catalina Divers Supply and the Avalon Rotary Club Foundation.
If you’ve been wanting to do a cleanup without going solo, this is a great chance to dive alongside fellow Kelp Forest Club members! We’ll dive together, work as a team, and leave the harbor better than we found it. Post-diving we will linger a bit- decompress in good company, compare notes, and hydrate properly.
Register here, select “Kelp Forest Club” from the dive club dropdown.
