The Douglas Dive Club (DDC) is composed of current, retired and ex-employees of the McDonnell
Douglas, Rockwell and Boeing companies along with their family members and
non-Boeing-Company divers. Employment with Boeing is not a prerequisite for membership.
Although most of the DDC members live in the Orange and Los Angeles Counties, we also have
members from San Diego, Northern California, Washington State, South Dakota, Texas and New
Zealand. We generally have from 80 to 105 active members.

The DDC holds monthly meetings on the first Wednesday of each month. We meet at 7:00 p.m. at
Cirievello's Restaurant at 4115 Viking Way in Long Beach. In general, the monthly meetings consist
of club business, dive news items and issues, dive reports, raffles, guest speakers, and
entertainment, although the agenda does vary from meeting to meeting. Meeting attendance is
not mandatory.

In addition to the monthly meetings, the DDC activities also include the following:
· A yearly awards banquet
· Monthly single-day and multi-day boat dives to the islands of San Nicolas, San Clemente, Santa
Barbara and Santa Catalina, and to Begg Rock, Tanner Bank, Farnsworth Bank, and Cortez Bank
· Participation in the annual Chocolate Lobster Dive and fundraiser for the Cabrillo Museum
· Participation in the Santa Catalina Chamber Day
· A trip through the Huntington Harbor each December to view the holiday lights
· Club-sponsored CPR courses
· Periodic long-range "warm water" trips to exotic dive places such as the Galapagos Islands, Fiji,
Christmas Island, South Africa, Belize, and Thailand ( to name a few ), some land-based and some
on live-aboard boats
· Group trips to Baja California for both camping-diving and boat diving
· Group camping-diving trips to Northern California for abalone diving

The DDC provides ample opportunity for both the newly certified diver and the experienced diver
to get involved at their own pace and to meet new friends that share in a common interest. DDC
members actively pursue underwater still and video photography, hunting, foreign travel, free
diving, cave diving, conservation activities, seafloor clean-ups, shell collecting, marine biology
studies, volunteering at aquariums, and just plain diving for the sheer enjoyment of it.
