| Diver Etiquette in Laguna Beach |

| Diving
in Laguna Beach is not a right, it's a privilege. The city has full control
over their beaches and the city council listens to the local residents.
If the local residents complain about divers the beaches could be closed
to diving! Beware, it has happened in other beach cities. Common problems
are divers dumping their gear on the streets and sidewalks, obstructing
traffic and pedestrians and parking in the residents driveway's. Of particular
note is noise! Don't be loud, show some respect! Do you have any idea how
loud and annoying it is to listen to dust caps being blown off by "cracking"
your tank valve! If you see someone making a mistake and you don't help
to educate them, you just might loose your diving privileges in Laguna Beach
forever. Below is the Laguna Beach diver etiquette rules that are posted
at many beaches. |
