May Meeting... 
Mark Strickland’s life-long interest in the sea has included over 10,000 dives and careers as lifeguard, boat captain and scuba instructor.

An avid marine naturalist, Mark has discovered several nudibranch species. He is co-author and principle photographer for Lonely Planet’s award-winning book, “Diving and Snorkeling Thailand”, and his photos and articles appear in many magazines, books and displays around the world. His credits list includes BBC Wildlife, Blue Planet, Calypso Log, Conde Nast Traveler, Geo, National Geographic World, National Geographic Extreme Explorer, National Wildlife, Natural History, Ocean Realm, Outside, and most leading dive publications.

Thanks for visiting our website! Founded in 1970, the Antelope Valley Desert Divers is one of the oldest dive clubs in Southern California. Some of our more senior members have been diving together since the 1950's and have great stories and experiences to share. Members enjoy many benefits, including discounts on dive boat charters, equipment purchases and rentals, just to name a few. We also participate in annual clean-up dives and campouts. Why not come out and visit us at our general meeting or event.
