Scuba Club Kickoff and BBQ
Hello Everyone,
We hope you’ve all been doing well!
After years of diving together locally, traveling to destinations like Cozumel and Roatán, and spending time with so many of you through Justin’s Scuba Time and the Stockton Scuba Club days, we’ve been feeling like it’s time to bring the local dive community back together in a meaningful way.
We’re excited to officially launch the **NorCal Dive Collective** and invite you to our very first social event!
