cues is social!

we’ll be
your buddy.

CUES is a community — scuba might be what first brings us together, but our members build lasting, on-land friendships, too.

Event calendar.

See where we’ll be; hopefully, we’ll see you there too. We host monthly meetups, Pool Parties, courses, and other events in and out of the water.

General membership meetings are held the first Tuesday of the month over Zoom. Committee meetings are usually held on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Links can be found on Slack!
