Q: How old is the Aqua Amigos Scuba Club?
A: The Club was formed on December 8th, 1958, making us 64 years old.
Q: Can I just show up to a meeting to check out the club?
A: Sure! Guests are always welcome to attend any of our meetings. Meetings are held every second and fourth Wednesday of the month at 8:00pm at the West End YMCA, 36909 Ridge Rd, Willoughby, OH 44094.
Q: Do you have to be a member to come to the Dive and Social events?
A: No, anyone is welcome, but members usually get discounts not available to non-members. So it pays to become a member!
Q: Does the club do any dives other than what is on the schedule?
A: Yes. Someone in the club is always going out diving somewhere and a lot of the time its last minute. Check out our Chat Board. You can request to be a part of the Chat Group without being a member.
Q: Does the club dive local?
A: You bet we do! Although, some members have been spoiled by warm tropical waters and now find anything below 74º cold! We dive the Lake and also venture out to the Quarries.
Q: Does the club travel?
A: Yup. The club has traveled all over to dive destinations. Places like the Outer Banks, Florida, Bahamas, Cozumel Bonaire and Fiji. We also go on trips a little closer (and colder) like Tobermory, Niagara River and others.
Q: What types of certification classes does the club offer?
A: We have instructors that conduct lectures during the winter months on dive related topics. From time to time we also offer other courses such as First Aid, CPR, O2 Provider, etc. for those who may be interested. Our instructors also hold advanced courses from time to time depending on interest. Courses like Advanced, Rescue and Nitrox. If you are certified and haven't been in the water in awhile, they can help refresh you.
Q: How do I join the Aqua Amigos Scuba Club?
A: You can join the club by attending any meeting and petitioning for membership after attending 3 scheduled events (meetings, dives, parties, etc.). If there are no objections, just pay your dues and you are in! Go to our Membership page to learn more!
