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.

Greetings From The Hospitality Hut,

I am happy to report 2 first-time guests attended the January, in-person, meeting of the USA Dive Club.

Erick Allen found our club from the Waterfront News.  He was certified in 1968 in Los Angeles.  Erick is a Master Scuba Diver and has logged over 1000 dives while treasure hunting, diving wrecks, taking underwater images and my favorite, drift diving.  Erick enjoys diving in Little Cayman and would like to visit the Galapagos Islands.

Wayne Sullivan discovered our club on the Internet.  Since 1963, as an instructor, Wayne has logged an extraordinary 15,000 dives.  His favorite dive site is the Cay Sal Bank.  Wayne is an underwater photographer.

Please be sure to welcome and introduce yourself to new members and guests when you see them, either in person or while attending a popular ZOOM meeting.

Happy New Year From The Hospitality Hut!  

                         

We have made it through some very challenging times and are about to turn the corner......if we continue to take precautions.

USA Dive Club member Ronnie, hosted a very successful Holiday Social Party at The Hampton Inn.

I would like to take this time to acknowledge several guests who were in attendance. Member Alison was accompanied by friend Nancy Widener.  Alison flew in from Oregon and her guest came up from Miami.  Several members have non-diving spouses/partners that are avid attendees of Social events. Roy attended with guest Mary Kay, member Jay had his lovely wife Carla on his arm and Alan escorted his charming wife Dawn. Guest John found us on the Internet.

I wish you all the Happiest and Healthiest New Year. 2022 here we come!

Greetings From The Hospitality Hut,

Where has another year gone?  It is so hard to believe how long we have all been apart....well not all of us.  A few are attending in person meetings at The Hampton Inn.  Some of us are still attending meetings on ZOOM. 

The Holidays are upon us.  I am sure you have all seen evidence in the local stores and on TV commercials. 

I would like to take this time to wish you all a Happy and Healthy Thanksgiving.  Eat, drink and be merry.  We have all earned it.

Greetings From The Hospitality Hut,

In August, several members attended the first in person meeting held at The Hamptons.  Many of us, including myself, attended via ZOOM.

At the September general meeting two ZOOM guests were present.

Ashley Guajardo lives in Texas. She met our club while aboard the Belize Aggressor.  Ashely was certified in 1998.  A club trip is one of the best ways to meet new divers.  Hopefully she will have an interest in joining our club.

Next Lee Ann Waggener, from Pompano, attended the meeting.  She has been a diver since 1993.  Lee Ann heard about us a while ago from current club members.  Lee Ann has also applied for membership.  Welcome aboard!
