Scuba divers in Phoenix ‘buddy up’ online

The dive community in Phoenix is a small but tight family. Around town, there are several socials every month in which divers gather together. However, many of the divers in the community are searching for more interaction than just a crowded restaurant gathering full of strangers. These divers are looking to share ideas, experiences, tips, techniques and advice. These divers want to meet like minded folks who want to blow bubbles, locally. In many cases, Arizona divers are just looking friendly conversation with other local divers. To find this interaction, they are looking on-line.

While there are a couple of national on-line communities like Scubaboard, Divebuddy and Diver to Diver (by Scuba Diving Magazine), there is one community that is quickly growing and very specific to Arizona divers. ArizonaScuba.com is an on-line community that is growing fast by attracting and gathering Arizona divers with information that is specific to them. Every day new members are signing up and sharing their experience with the local band of divers that frequent the board. Board members discuss dive related topics like travel, equipment, training, dive health and medicine, and much more. The moderators and board administrators “Granny” and “Chuckie” patrol the board to stimulate conversation and keep everyone in line.

ArizonaScuba.com is not just a forum for banter back and forth. Members can share pictures, update the “shout box” with event information and get current data on local dive spots like Lake Pleasant and the Salt River. ArizonaScuba.com is not just an on line forum. These members actually dive. In many cases, ArizonaScuba.com is a place where dive buddies meet and arrange dives together. In fact, ArizonaScuba.com does not just talk the talk, they host a local ‘night’ dive on Thursday nights. It’s very popular and seems to be growing every week.

Membership for ArizonaScuba.com is free. Non-members can browse the community without registering. Sign up today and start reaping the benefits at ArizonaScuba.com.
