Great, free, workshop if you can make it or are already in SD during one of these times. Highly recommend for new divers and inexperienced shore divers. You can't experience this by reading a book or diving at a lake! Just bring snorkeling gear and exposure protection.

*****************************************
The San Diego Council of Divers sponsors a Rocks, Rips & Reefs Program (3Rs)
and you are invited to participate.
http://www.sddivers.com/3rs/
What are the 3Rs?
3Rs is an in-water education and site orientation program for divers and
snorkelers. Participants are briefed on the interaction of surf, swell, and
tides on underwater rocks and reefs, and then enter the water and tour
popular diver sites with local lifeguards.
3Rs is a great way for newer divers to learn more about the ocean and for
experienced divers to explore new dive sites.
Participants learn how to:
. Identify underwater rocks and reefs by observing water movement and surf
. Take advantage of the ocean's natural wave motion
. Spot safe places to enter and exit
. Avoid places hazardous to divers and snorkelers
. Encounter rip and long shore currents
. Use tides to plan dives
Who can attend?
The 3Rs is free and open to the public. Snorkelers welcome! SCUBA
Certification is not required, but swimming experience is recommended.
Participants must sign a liability waiver as part of registration.
Participants aged 17 or less must have the waiver signed by a parent or
legal guardian.
What to bring
Bring a mask, fins, and snorkel. A full wetsuit and gloves are strongly
recommended for warmth and protection from scrapes. Spring suits are OK.
Weights are discouraged unless you are a strong swimmer or your wetsuit is
extremely buoyant. Scuba gear (regulator, BC, tank, etc.) is not used during
the 3Rs.
If you have not been diving or snorkeling recently, please check your gear
before you arrive.
