Shamelessly copied from the San Diego Council of Divers web site!!
The San Diego Council of Divers and the San Diego City Lifeguard Service are proud to present the Rocks, Rips and Reefs program (3R's) for 1999. 3R's is an in-water education and site orientation program for divers and snorkelers. After a quick briefing on the interaction of surf, swell, and tides on underwater rocks and reefs, participants enter the water and tour popular dive sites with local lifeguards. Participants learn how to :
Identify underwater rocks and reefs by observing water movement and surf.
Take advantage of the ocean's natural wave motion.
Spot safe places to enter and exit.
Avoid places hazardous to divers and snorkelers.
Encounter rip and longshore currents.
Use tides to plan dives.
Participants wear their normal wetsuit, mask, fins and snorkel, but no more than HALF of their normal diving weights. Regulators, BC's and tanks are not used during the program.
SCUBA certification is not required! Snorkelers are welcome! 3R's is a great way for newer divers to learn more about the ocean, and for experienced divers to
