I’m going to be in Anaheim from Aug. 16-18 and would like to find somebody to do some off shore diving with. Is there a place where I can find other people looking for a partner? Not sure how this all works. Thanks!

Sorry, I'll be landlocked that weekend with family in town. But you could try to hook up with these guys in Laguna on Saturday: Scuba Diving with South Coast Divers
Or you could try meeting up with these guys at Redondo Saturday or Sunday: Pacific Wilderness
Or you could do a 3-dive day boat to Catalina on Sunday with these guys: Southern California's Boat Diving Schedule - Online Reservations
Have you dived in SoCal before?

Awesome, thanks.
No, I have not dove in SoCal before. I’m going to be out there for the UFC fight and was going to try and get a dive or two in. Thanks for the help. I appreciate it!

Are you comfortable with water temperatures in the 60s? (Meaning likely a 5 or 7mm wetsuit and all the extra weight that requires.) And are you comfortable with not having a guide in the water? If you're new to diving and have only done tropical resorts, you might feel most comfortable hopping on the ferry to Catalina and booking a guided dive with Catalina Diver's Supply. The water is clearer out there, the staircase entry is pretty easy, and the guides are awesome; they'll help you with a weight check and add or remove lead as needed. I did a bunch of those when I was just starting out, and it really helped build my skills and confidence for being paired with randos on a boat.
