Scuba Divers, Burgers and Dogs

Chef David In-Between Dives
Chef David In-Between Dives
Once again, David outdid himself on the grill serving up grilled hamburgers and hotdogs to about 20 divers this past weekend!  Saturday was the DiverXY BarBQ at the Lake.  The event was open to the DiverXY group as well as other divers who wanted to get wet and enjoy a beautiful day.  We had a mixed group of divers from new divers, to experienced divers, to technical divers and even some rebreather divers.  It was a fun day and everyone had a great time diving and socializing with other scuba divers and even a few non-divers (we can fix that you know…). 
If you missed the day, keep looking, David has promised to bring the grill again and have another BarBQ at the Lake soon!

New Truk Lagoon Dive Video Debut at Club Aquarius Meeting

Inside Wreck Looking Out
Drew Trent, our scheduled speaker for our monthly Club Aquarius meeting was sick.  But, don’t worry, he has agreed to reschedule his presentation later in the year.
But as they say in show business, the show must go on.  I debuted a new video compilation of his photographs from past trips to Truk Lagoon.  The video featured photographs of the ships before the blast and then ones from the bottom.  It also had photographs of a number of the people that have joined me on previous trips. 
It was a fun video to put together and was well received by the audience.  If you missed the video, I posted it so you can see it.

Spring Break Scuba Diving Group Returns

Ann, Steve and Nigel just returned from a Spring Break week in Utila, Honduras and they cannot stop talking about it. The group had such a good time that they all want to go back! While a norther blew in and tried to dampen their spirits, they did not miss a dive and spent days basking in the sunshine and enjoying the lush tropical island that Laguna Beach promises. There were a number of photographers along, including Ann, Karen, Steve and Nigel. They all tell me they got some incredible photographs.
Ann put together a quick video for the trip. You can watch it here or  jump over to the OceanicVentures channel on You Tube.
