History

2014: Proposed team in New Mexico

The city of Santa Rosa, New Mexico, attempted to get the Pecos League to move a team into its city in 2014. The team was to be named the Scuba Divers after the well known Blue Hole located near the city. With the team name and jerseys created, the Pecos League was unable to finalize an agreement with the city and the team was never finalized. However, the Pecos League played one game per season from 2014–2016 at Santa Rosa High School. [1]

2022: First season in California

On April 13, 2022, the Pecos League announced the Scuba Divers as a new team in the Pacific North Division. They played their home games in Santa Rosa, California at Doyle Park. Despite having no affiliation with Santa Rosa, New Mexico or the Scuba Divers team name, the team stayed with the previously designed Red and White team color and name. [2] The team was managed by Corey Monroe, who led them to a 22–29 regular season record. They were defeated two games to zero against the San Rafael Pacifics in the quarterfinals.

On January 2, 2023, the Scuba Divers announced their season schedule for its second season. [3] On March 31, 2023, the Scuba Divers announced they would not be returning for the season. The team cited they were unable to operate because of logistical issues. [4]

2025: Return to Pecos League

On April 10, 2025, the Pecos League announced the return of the Scuba Divers. [5] The team will replace the Vallejo Seaweed, which folded just over a month before the season. It is currently reported that the coaching staff and players will be operated by former Seaweed personnel.

In June it was announced the team would move back to Vallejo and play as the Seaweed for the remainder of the 2025 season. [6]
