The Hospitality Hut Wishes You Happy Holidays And Happy New Year!

Another year has come and gone, a year full of great dive trips and local dives.

We have been able to resume our in person meetings and thanks to a great VP of Programs, we have had wonderful presenters each month.

I wish you all the best in the coming year.  Hopefully our attendance will continue to improve and guests will return as well.

Gobble, Gobble From The Hospitality Hut,

Here we go again!!  Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow club members and friends. 

Where has another year gone?  Well I know, we have gone to Fiji, Grand Cayman and Saba.  A good number of us were lucky enough to journey to Canada and Alaska.  It has been a great travel year.

The October meeting was a great success thanks to Rick D, our Programs VP, for having Gary "The Shark Man" Rose as the presenter. Approximately 20 USA'ers attended the meeting in person.  Lets' keep it up.

Greeting From The Hospitality Hut,

Now that October is here, the holidays are right around the corner.  We will soon be filling our calendars with special events.  

The Club has announced the Christmas-Holiday Party taking place on December 1st.  You may register to attend on the club website, listed below, or by calling Ronnie. 

As the club prepares to depart for Saba, the last overseas trip of 2022, we can look forward to what exciting trips await us in 2023.  

While on an overseas trip, it's a perfect time to meet people in airports and on planes.  I like to engage travelers in conversation.  It's never a surprise when someone tells me they are a diver.  I politely hand them a USA business card and tell them a few facts about our club.  We have several members who were attracted to the club while on an overseas trip. They see the fun we have and that we are friendly, seasoned divers.  

I encourage you to visit our home page www.usadiveclub.org.  Please click on the calendar and keep up to date on all the diving and non-diving scheduled activities. You may also take a look at the photo gallery and take a peek at past events.

I wish you all Happy Diving.

Greetings from the Hospitality Hut,

Without a meeting in September, I look forward to meeting some guests at our October General Membership meeting.    

With October just around the corner, most of the country will be cooling down...but not Florida.  Our warm waters continue to lure divers in a southerly direction.  This gives us locals a great opportunity to keep our ears and eyes open for new member possibilities.

Just the other day, as I started my most recent vacation, I discovered that my limo driver was a diver.  It only took a brief conversation before he was telling me about how much he loved the sport.  I always keep a supply of USA Dive Club business cards with me so I handed one to him and hope to see him sometime in the future.

I encourage you to visit our home page www.usadiveclub.org.  Please click on the calendar and keep up to date on all the diving and non-diving scheduled activities.  You may visit the photo gallery and take a peek at all of our past events.

Greetings From The Hospitality Hut,

Due of the club not having a July meeting, I have no guests to report.

Summer is upon us and the water is very warm.  If you haven't been diving yet, what are you waiting for?

Hoping to see you at the August 4th general meeting of the USA Dive Club.

Please remember that COVID is still alive and well.....please stay safe.

I wish you all Happy Diving.

Greetings From The Hospitality Hut,

At the June general meeting of the Under Sea Adventurers Dive Club we had a wonderful dive presentation into COLD WATER diving.

Our speaker, Will Schrier, was accompanied by 3 guests who attended on ZOOM.  Thank you John,  Jordan and Ashley for your attendance.

Warm water is here!  We know our divers love warm water.  So now is the time to jump on in and join a local dive. I am sure the Blue Heron Bridge is very active regardless of the weather.

Greetings From The Hospitality Hut,

It was nice to see guest Pat S. at the May general meeting of the Under Sea Adventurers Dive Club.

We now have a very comfortable meeting room with a lot of space to social distance. Please consider joining us for the upcoming  June meeting. We still have ZOOM as an option and we have had excellent ZOOM presentations.

Remember to tell divers you meet, on local dive boats/shops, about our club and some of the great trips we take. Unfortunately COVID has hit many industries hard, including the dive industry, so it  is important that we support our local shops and boats.

I encourage you to visit our home page www.usadiveclub.org.  Please click on the calendar and keep up to date on all the diving and non-diving scheduled activities. You may also take a look at the photo gallery and take a peek at past events.

We have now entered Hurricane season.  Be sure to be prepared and keep our fingers crossed for a very mild season.  Most of all, please continue to stay safe.

I wish you all Happy Diving.

Greetings From The Hospitality Hut,

I was happy to attend the April, in person, general meeting of the USA Dive Club.  It was wonderful to see so many happy familiar faces.  If you have not yet attended an in person meeting, please consider doing so.

No guests were in attendance, but I am sure as people venture out, that will change.

I would like to wish a very Happy Mother's Day to all the great mothers in our club!  Remember your Mom on May 8th.
