You happen to live in an area that has one of the largest contingent of diving programs in the US.The Southern Pacific Diving Association has more diving pools than anywhere in the state so you should not have a hard time finding a place to learn to dive.

Go to www.usadiving.org, click on 'Clubs' and then 'Find A Club'. Enter CA and a list of teams will come up. A few that come to mind in your area are Crown Valley Divers in Laguna Nigel, Mission Viejo Nadadores and the Pacific Diving Academy in Cerritos.

Contact them and others that interest you and ask if they have a Masters Diving Program. Masters is a term for adult recreational diving.You do not have to be an experienced diver to join a Masters team.

Also go to www.mastersdiving.org. At the home page on the left hand side, click on e-mail addresses. A long list of Masters divers will come up. Look for divers in your area and contact them to see where it is that they dive. You are sure to find someone as Masters diving is huge in So. Calif.

I would start right away to find a program as diving in the summer is very popular and spots could fill up fast.Good luck in your search.
