Club SWODA is all about activity. We want to give our members as many chances to get out diving as possible. Although we host many dive trips all year round, we know that our members also want to dive on their own time. We also know that finding a buddy to go diving with can be difficult at times. Enter the SWODA Buddy List.

The Buddy List is a (e)mailing list available to all SWODA members, allowing them to keep in touch outside of club dives and activities. As a member, you are automatically signed up for this list and will be able to send/receive emails to/from other members. This is how it works:

1. You're itching to dive but need a buddy to share the experience with
2. Simply send an email to buddylist[a t]swoda[d o t]ca with details about your request (e.g. "I'm looking for a buddy to dive with this Wednesday night in Sarnia")
3. SWODA members subscribed to the list (all, by default) will receive your request and can respond by replying to your email
4. You and your new found buddy enjoy a fun and safe dive

It is our hope that this list allows our members to have a more enjoyable diving experience. Please remember that although SWODA is providing this contact service, any dives/events that arise from the list are outside of SWODA's responsibility. Dives organized by individuals through the list are viewed as regular, non-club dives.

At this time, the buddy list is available to SWODA members only. If you are a member and have not received your notification of subscription, please check your junk folder. If you still have any issues, feel free to contact us.

Happy Diving!
