Greetings From The Hospitality Hut,

It was so nice to see everyone again! Hurricane Irma caused the cancellation of the September meeting.  Thankfully all are safe and sound. Now many of us are cleaning up fallen trees and debris from our yards.

At the October general meeting of the Under Sea Adventurers Dive Club I introduced one guest.

Brad Baron, former member, arrived with a completed application and check. Brad was certified in 1980 and has logged over 2000 dives. I am so happy to report Brad was approved for membership at the October Board meeting. Be sure to welcome Brad.

Thank you to returning guests, Dawn, Kamala and Rob.

Greetings From The Hospitality Hut,

Well what can I say except Mother Nature always wins.

The September general meeting of the Under Sea Adventurers Dive Club was cancelled due to Hurricane Irma. 

Reports from divers and dive boats are very disturbing.  Our beautiful reefs took a hard hit.  Captain Tony said it looked like a bomb exploded.

Hopefully you are all well and no one sustained severe damage. 

Looking forward to seeing you all at the October meeting. 

I wish you all "Happy Diving."
