diving instruction for middle schooler

Question
My daughter is interested in getting some instruction in diving. She is 12. We live in Marin County. Do you have any suggestions as to whom to contact in Marin (ideally) or SF Bay area who might provide instruction/classes? Thank you

Just go to www.usadiving.org, click on Clubs and then Find A Club. Enter CA and a list of teams will come up. Looks like the closest one to you is in Santa Rosa. No diving programs in San Francisco. The next closest south of you is at Stanford. To the east, it is the Sherman Divers in Lafayette. All of these teams have Learn to Dive Programs that she will enjoy.

Good luck in your search. You're going to have to drive a ways because I just have not heard of a program closer to where you live.
