Mostly, I just talk everybody’s ear off until they decide to spare themselves and just get certified. This is how my wife, her good friend, and her good friend’s husband all got diving and then, naturally, we’ve gone diving together.
Also, anytime I’ve done a course at the dive shop, I usually get a phone number or two to open our group up a little bit.
After I got certified, I went about 10 years before I went diving again, because I live in Northeast Pennsylvania and it’s not like I’m tripping over other SCUBA divers wherever I go.
Yeah I’m doing an AOW course right now and I opted out of their whatsapp group, when we met, I didn’t really vibe with them so I passed up on further ideas to get their information to dive together.
So I was looking up discord groups instead. There are dive clubs around me but they cost money and I’m a cheap bastard.
It all depends where you live too. In my socal area, once you’re in an area where there dense population then there will be dive shops with clubs or regular events

Fair. I’m at the point in my life ( 40 y.o. with 2 kids) where I would gladly pay money to a group that makes it easier to dive more often.
