How do you usually find people to go on dive trips with?

I go solo - meeting other divers and making new friends is part of the fun. I am not much of a joiner so clubs don't work for me.

I am honestly surprised there is not a more formalized networking platform for divers. You would think with 6 million divers globally there would be a more centralized way of connecting likeminded divers rather than going directly to a LDS.

Though many people avoid Facebook, it seems to me to be the best place to find buddy groups. This site is good too, but seems that Facebook buddy groups have a bit more regular interaction.

Quite simple.

While diving, make friends with people you like.
Share contact information.
Plan a dive trip together.
Make more friends on that dive trip.
Repeat.
