Dive Locker and Equipment
Our dive locker is located at the Small Boats and Diving Operations building in Moss Landing. There are several lockers for storing personal diving gear. These lockers are typically full, but if you need one, please contact the dive program admin (mlml-diving-admin@sjsu.edu) to see what is available.
