About

San Diego Dive Club in San Carlos operates a recreational scuba diving and snorkeling organization headquartered at 8002 Beaver Lake Dr, San Diego, 92119, near the eastern shore of Lake Murray. Monthly meetings convene on the first Thursday of each month, featuring guest speakers drawn from the commercial and recreational diving industry, including past appearances by representatives from ScubaPro and the founder of 15 Fathoms freediving. The club schedules group dive events at San Diego's primary shore-entry sites, including La Jolla Cove, La Jolla Shores, and Point Loma kelp beds, along with boat dives to the Yukon and Ruby E wrecks offshore. Post-dive debriefs and social events rotate between member homes and local restaurants, and the club has used Pure Press on Lake Murray Boulevard in San Carlos as a cold-pressed juice and smoothie stop after weekend dives. Membership is open to certified divers at all experience levels, prospective divers who have not yet completed certification, and snorkelers who want ocean access through organized group outings. Beach cleanup events run quarterly at coastal sites around San Diego, combining environmental stewardship with surface-interval socializing between dives. Water safety education forms a core part of the monthly meeting agenda, covering topics from nitrogen narcosis management at depth to current-awareness protocols for La Jolla's south-facing coves. The Beaver Lake Drive address places the club in San Carlos's residential corridor, a short drive from the Lake Murray dam and the Cowles Mountain trailhead, where members often combine a morning hike with an afternoon ocean dive. Group events requiring catering for larger gatherings have drawn on Bekker's Catering in nearby Grantville for buffet service at the club's annual banquet. The speaker series has hosted Miss Scuba Queen USA and multiple PADI Course Directors, giving members continuing-education exposure without the cost of a formal conference registration.
