Conducted by certified Los Angeles County Scuba instructors, the Rocks, Rips, and Reefs course includes a short educational seminar covering safe beach diving skills, certain aspects of the local marine environment, and other valuable, site-specific information. Conditions permitting, the seminar is followed by an in-water demonstration and practice session that includes a skin diving tour of the actual dive site.

Topics and skills covered in the course include:

• Choosing appropriate entry and exit points, and safe entry and exit skills

• Identifying, anticipating, and navigating hidden obstacles in the surf zone

• How to use the ocean’s natural wave motion to your advantage

• How to plan your dive by reading the ocean’s surface and using tide tables

• How to find interesting stuff at each location
Participants are required to wear a full wetsuit, mask, snorkel, and fins (preferably open heel with booties). A hood and gloves are recommended.

SCUBA certification is not required in order to participate in 3R’s courses! New divers welcomed!

Minors must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

If you don’t think beach diving is for you or if you hated your open water beach experience, then this class is definitely for you! California has 1000 miles of coastline to explore – learn how to enjoy the beach dive experience!
