Happy New Year Greetings From The Hospitality Hut,

Another year has come to a close and a bright New Year awaits. I hope 2019 is a great year for us all.

I am pleased to report 2 first-time guests attended the December general meeting of the Under Sea Adventurers Dive Club.

Roy Harrington heard about our club from a local dive operation.  He has been diving since 1981 and has logged hundreds of dives.  Roy submitted his membership application and at the December BoD meeting his membership was approved.  Welcome aboard Roy.

Mary Kay Wiedeman accompanied Roy.  She is not a diver, however non-divers are welcome to join in on our busy social activities.

Greetings From the Hospitality Hut,

The "Dog Days" of summer are finally here .  Air and water temperatures are up. Unfortunately, the warm water is not healthy for our reefs.

I have no guests to report for the July meeting.  Some months are slow as many people are vacationing.  

Please be sure to tell your friends about our club and encourage them to attend a meeting.

I encourage you to visit the USA Dive Club 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 see all the fun we have above and under the water.
