Company description Welcome to the Ocean Explorers Society
Thank you for visiting the OES web site. The Ocean Explorers Society is a San Diego based dive club affiliated with Ocean Enterprises. We meet at 7 PM on the first Thursday of every month at a local restaurant or at Ocean Enterprises. Visitors are always welcome.
Club members enjoy a wide variety of diving activities from hunting to photography. We`re also active in community projects to improve the ocean environment.
We are a group of active divers who dive, socialize, and learn together. Except for the months of August and December, we hold meetings on the first Thursday of the month at Ocean Enterprises on Balboa St. Our meetings generally feature a speaker, news of local and club events, and a raffle of diving equipment. Once or twice a year, we hold a parties instead of meetings.
OES membership spans the full range of ages and experience; from freshly certified to divemaster. We do tend toward more experienced and trained divers. 50% of our members are Rescue certified or better. All experience levels are welcome. We are safety oriented and generally able to tailor our diving to everyone`s experience and comfort level.
This is not a large club where you will get lost among hundreds of people. Come diving with us, and you will be diving among friends. You will also find that we lack the macho attitude which can sometimes be found elsewhere. You can dive to your comfort level without feeling self conscious.
We offer numerous benefits to our members:
Reduced cost diving trips
Organized dives
Discounts on specialty classes.
10% discount off non-sale merchandise at Ocean Enterprises
Monthly newsletter
Knowledge to share
Good dive buddies
Membership dues for individuals is $25 per year, couples are $30 and families are $35. There is a $5 initiation fee for new members.
Location description: While San Diego is our primary diving area, we organize trips to more distant venues. The club has organized trips to Catalina, Hawai`i, Curacao, Grand Cayman, Turkois, Sonora Bay, La Paz, Grand Bahama, and Cabo San Lucas.
We try to organize one beach dive and one boat dive per month. During the summer, we charter day boats, like the Lois Ann and visit the less frequented local sites. The club also participates in underwater clean-ups, and other community activities.
We organize at least one major, way out of town, dive trip per year. By grouping our travel, we qualify for discounts not normally available to the public. OES has organized trips to Grand Cayman, Palau, Cabo San Lucas, La Paz, Turkois, Grand Bahama and Cozumel.
Picking a course
There are typically several courses to choose from; 2 weekend, 1 week, 2 week, and 4 week. You can also choose to take your ocean dives in a different location; frequently some tropical vacation spot.
All else being equal, the 4 week course is the best buy. It costs less and you have a better opportunity to assimilate the information from one section before going on to the next. You also have more opportunity for remedial work if you`re having difficulty with a skill.
I haven`t tried a referral for the open water dives. We were all certified in our home waters. I do think that unless you`re having some major difficulties with the local dive sites, you should get certified where you live. Being trained to local conditions means you can practice in local conditions, and you have all your vacation dives as fun dives.
