Welcome to Rippin Dawgs Dive Club!

Here is everything you need to know to get started.

Getting Started

All new divers begin in our Lessons group. After an evaluation, divers have the opportunity to test into other groups based on their skill level.

Our Groups

Lessons

Where new divers learn the fundamentals and build confidence on the board. A great option for those coming from summer league who want to keep diving going. Lessons has three varying skill levels, allowing divers to continue growing without needing to commit to more hours or a new group.

 

*If your diver attends practice once a week, Lessons is their group regardless of skill level*
