Rockfish Dive Community
One of the most important parts of Rockfish Divers is the community building with us. It's one thing to train people to dive, and another to provide them with equipment to dive. However, without a dive community, we wouldn't be able to create more opportunities to dive, gather, share, make a difference and expand on the knowledge we have already. There are things happening through Rockfish every week, so stay tuned to our SCHEDULE and the experiences presented below.
