Dive N Trips

Join the Tri-Valley Dive Club for a fun dive at Otter Cove (Perkins Park).

📅 Sunday, August 9, 2026
⏰ 8:00 AM

Conditions do NOT look good for diving Monastery Beach, and as you might know, if conditions are not perfect, it is best not to dive there! So, the Fun Dive is moved to the more protected area of Otter Cove/Perkins Park Beach in Pacific Grove. 🦦

Park on the street and we will be setting up on the beach. 🏖️ Contact Dive N Trips at 925-462-7234 or [email protected] if you need to rent gear.

A great article on coral reefs with some focus on Raja Ampat and Philippines, both areas we will visit soon.

Cities of Life - Wild Eye Magazine I approach the seafan for a closer look, lured in by its outrageous golden-orange hue. The gaps between the glowing branches are so packed with delicate white, eight-armed polyps that I struggle to comprehend where they can all attach.

Congratulations to our newest PADI Open Water divers! A small but dedicated group. Thanks to IDC Staff Instructor Dirk Peters and Divemaster Kendall Sparks
