DiveVets.com - This group was started in 2004 by a group of local Divers who met diving at Veteran’s Park in Redondo Beach.
Any certified diver regardless of experience is welcome to join.
They plan beach and boat trips, dive events and are known for their world famous “dive debriefings.”
A fun group, but please understand their sarcasm and concern for safety!
SandEaters.org - A club that organizes a weekly Sunday morning or Saturday night beach dive.
Join the yahoo groups to be informed of the planned dives as the website is not always up to date.
I think this club has been in decline since one of the key people, Melvin P., was shipped off to Iraq.

Travis was paralyzed from the neck down and is confined to a wheelchair, he requires constant attention.
Travis will never be a varsity football player again, or go SCUBA diving with his Dad, but technology and recent new research has given victims of severe spinal cord injuries like Travis, new HOPE.

it took me months to find an online store that sold these knives - they are the only knife used by all the commercial and offshore divers around the globe and they are dam cheap!

Hey PSD;
Your words of SandEaters may be prolific, I tried to click their link and it is no longer available.
On a related note are you familiar at all with Pacific wildernss’ dive club? If so is it worth a go?

Hi Mike,
I have been a member of Pac Wild before. I dive with Divevets now. Both are fun groups. Pac Wild has more chicks in it, but they all (usually) have boyfriends or are lesbians. But, they have great monthly meetings with interesting speakers.
I would say, since you get membership and and air card, plus discounts on boat trips, go for it.
I must warm you though - I think this is why I don’t dive with them anymore - they are sort of clickish. I don’t remember ever really fitting in with them.
