Make any excuse to go diving in July and August to win prizes worth thousands of dollars and raise funds to support the San Diego Oceans Foundation, a non-profit organization that has been promoting ocean stewardship for over 25 years.
The tax-deductible registration fee is $25 and includes a free event T-shirt. Online registration is simple and takes only ten minutes.
Similar to a walk-a-thon, Dive-a-Thon participants set a personal diving goal for the month of July and August and seek financial pledges from friends and family. But instead of treading along a dry, hot road to raise money for a cause, divers get to explore the magical world of our oceans to support marine-based programs.
Each dive minute equals one (1) point and each dollar raised equals two (2) points. Diving points will only be collected during July. Fundraising is open throughout July and August. You can choose what level you'd like to compete at Social or Competitive. Social Divers are the weekend warriors among us, whereas Competitive Divers are in the water like fish, often times paid to be there, thus their competitive edge. Everyone will be able to earn bonus points that will be offered during the event.
