MONTEREY WAVE MODEL
Northern California Rainbow Divers (NCRD) is a no-take, non-profit SCUBA diving club for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered divers and their friends.
We have more than 100 members (roughly 50% men and 50% women) throughout the Bay Area with a core membership of around 50 active members who share a passion for diving in California′s magnificent kelp forests and for adventure travel.
NCRD sponsors a wide range of diving activities for our members:
- Monterey Diving
- Channel Islands Diving
- Exotic/Tropical Diving
If you like kelp forest diving, underwater photography, marine biology, or just relaxing and playing with the otters, you will make friends easily at NCRD. Of course, we would not dream of discriminating on the grounds of sexual orientation! Although our primary outreach may be to the queer community, more and more enlightened straight people are discovering that we offer a unique environment where the focus is on great diving and camaraderie. So go ahead and invite your straight dive buddy to join you; after all, it is the 21st century and we are in California!
