Did you know that the 4th of July, or Independence Day, is not just about picnics and fireworks?  It actually has a fascinating history that many of us don’t fully know.  If you're curious to dive a little deeper into how this special day came to be, just click the link below. 

History of Independence Day

And while you’re celebrating, remember to stay safe with those fireworks. The best way to enjoy them is to head to a local show where you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the display. 

Have a fantastic 4th of July!

We’re thrilled to welcome back Marc Cohen to the USA Dive Club.  Some of you may remember that he was introduced to us by the legendary Dr. Ray McAllister, a Hall of Fame member.  Marc has been part of our diving family since 2006, took a short break, and has now rejoined us. 

Marc’s diving journey began in the 1970s, and he holds certifications as an Advanced Open Water Diver and a Surface-Supplied Air Diver.  With over 7,500 dives, he’s truly a diving enthusiast.  

When it comes to dream dives, Marc has some exciting ideas.  He would love to go on a hard-hat dive with dolphins.  He also aspires to explore the Bismarck in a submersible.  The Bismarck was the first of two Bismarck-class battleships built for Nazi Germany’s Kriegsmarine - how amazing would that be?  The Bismarck’s fame stems from its powerful design, its short but spectacular career during World War II, and its eventual sinking by the Royal Navy. 

Outside of diving, Marc has a passion for military history, movies, and, of course, his adorable rabbits.  His love for them shines through every time he’s with them. 

So let’s all give a warm “Welcome Back” to Marc.  We’re excited to have you with us again.

We’d love for you to check out our extensive Photo Gallery, where you can dive into all the fun from our social events and diving adventures.  We update the albums regularly, so there’s always something fresh for you to enjoy. 

Happy diving, everyone.  Let’s keep the good vibes going!
