The UCSC Scuba Club, "Scuba Slugs", is a recreational club open to all interested scuba divers. Members are allowed to use the recreational program's scuba equipment for their dives provided they are organized club activities and courses. The club offers both skin and scuba diving throughout the year depending on the availability of equipment and dive leaders. The only club meeting occurs the first Sunday of each quarter at 7pm in the Martial Arts room at the East Field Complex. If you can't make this meeting contact the Scuba Office at (831) 459-4518. We encourage club members to come help with our Basic Scuba pool sessions every Wednesday and Thursday (see the current SCUBA CALENDAR for times). It is a good way to log more water time, hone your diving skills, meet new divers and pass on "tricks of the trade" that you have developed or learned.
PREREQUISITES for the club are: You have to be certified as a scuba diver by a nationally recognized agency, have medical clearance from the UCSC Health Center, attend the "skills review" pool session, pay the annual dues of $20 online at www.ucscrecreation.com and be able to provide the following equipment for the scuba dives: mask, snorkel, fins, gloves, booties, web weight belt, exposure suit, and cutting device (the club provides tanks, BCs, lead, regulators and three gauge consoles).
