 The first time I went to California to dive.. I had just earned my OW certification and it was going to be my first ocean experience. I hired a DM and had a personal guide. Seeing how it was my first dive in the ocean, I didn’t feel comfortable not knowing the skill level of my dive buddy. We did shore dives at Lajolla.
 
 
 When I went to the California area to dive the second time... Someone told me about the group www.Divebums.com It is a group that sends out emails to a ’mass list’ that is on the club.... and people respond to the emails.
 
 
 You could join that group and send an email stating you are looking for a dive buddy.
 
 
 I still currently recieve the emails from them and enjoy reading the information and seeing the photos that they post.
 
 
 I also have had a great experience with the dive forum Scuba board.... you could post in the Southern California area and see what kind of a response you get there too!?!?! Here is that link http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/socal/
 
 
 Good luck and have fun!
