About us
You've been looking for a scuba group that actually dives? YOU'VE FOUND IT!
FREE mask, snorkel, and weight replacement program for members!
A SAFETY-FOCUSED, NO-DUES, NON-PROFIT, INDEPENDENT SCUBA GROUP that dives more than any other club or group in San Diego (and beyond)!
Whether you dive occasionally or every week, Power Scuba is the fun, easy way to stay connected with the underwater scene in San Diego County and beyond. Explore familiar and brand-new dive spots throughout Southern California (and overseas).
Safe diving within your personal limits and skillset is our emphasis. Advanced & technical dives will occur (for qualified members), in addition to our normal dives, but safety is not just lip service with us.
Eco-mindedness, in addition to safety, is always at the forefront of our thinking. The group participates in (and hosts) various environmental programs and our president represents our no-fishing (for fish) group to various orgs and entities. What better ocean stewards than those who peer beneath the surface regularly?
WE ACTUALLY DIVE, NOT JUST TALK ABOUT IT! All certification levels are welcome at this no-profit group. We're fun, often irreverent, and very, very passionate about our diving and the environment. Sound good? Do you want to see more of San Diego diving, both from the shore and boats? In need of a dive buddy? Join up now!

Sunday Early Dive at the Cove! (Note: spring forward)
La Jolla Cove, 1100 Coast Blvd, San Diego, CA, USConditions look good for Sunday morning, let's dive the cove!
Note: Clocks are adjusted one hour forward during the night!
Please make sure to sign our liability release online once per calendar year. It's quick and easy, just follow this link: (http://waiver.powerscuba.org)
**Please send a Meetup message to the event organizer if your name of the waiver does not match you Meetup name.*****
Join us for one or two dives at the La Jolla Cove.
The cove offers beautiful sea grass meadows, reefs, schools of fish and kelp beds. Please note that visibility varies, and entry/exit can be a bit of a struggle due to stairs and a little drop right at the waterline. Otherwise, this dive location offers shallow dives that are OW-friendly.Where: 1100 Coast Blvd - check the pin on the map. We will meet on the grass area behind the bathrooms. Make sure to check in with the organizer when you arrive!
When: Check the start time in the header. Please be on time and set your RSVP to 'no' if you can't make it.
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.
Store: Don't forget we have Power Scuba T-Shirts and Tank Stickers for sale! Represent your favorite Dive Club. Use this link to order: http://store.powerscuba.org
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) 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.

Afternoon dive @ Shaw’s Cove (Laguna)
Shaw’s Cove, 1001 Cliff Dr,, Laguna Beach, CA, USConditions look pristine this weekend! Join us for a dive (or two 👀) at Shaw’s Cove in Laguna Beach!
Shaw’s Cove is known for its protected cove, and sandy entry with some rocky areas. The dive site features a mix of sand channels, rocky reefs, and kelp growth that attract a variety of marine life. Depths generally range from about 20–40 feet, with occasional deeper pockets depending on how far we explore. Visibility can vary and there is only one way to find out!
Keep an eye out for garibaldi, sheephead, kelp bass, nudibranchs, octopus, and sometimes horn sharks resting in the sand.
Looking forward to a fun, safe dive with everyone! 🌊🤿
IMPORTANT: Be cautious not to disturb neighbors as this is a residential area. Plan to arrive early to get a good parking spot.
