The Dive Evangelist

Oceanblue Divers' introduction to the dive industry at Beneath the Sea last weekend was a tremendous success. The club's "Wetter is Better" T-shirts had the place abuzz, and we made many great contacts with industry companies and legends. As a result, we'll have even bigger and better events and trips as we continue our explosive growth.

Next month, we host Dan Crowell (captain of the SEEKER, of Shadow Divers fame) at our April happy hour. On Memorial Day Weekend, renowned underwater photographer Stephen Frink will join us on a Key Largo "Dive 'n' Dash" trip co-sponsored by Scuba Diving Magazine. And we're in the planning process to bring the Shadow Divers themselves (John Chatterton and Richie Kohler) to a future happy hour.

We owe a hearty thank-you to all of the volunteers who came out to Beneath the Sea to help out in the booth and to give their time to Beneath the Sea on behalf of Oceanblue Divers. Your generosity with your time played no small part in our success last weekend, and we appreciate the efforts of each and every one of you. This club would never survive without the amazing enthusiasm and support shown by its members. I don't want to sound like a Michael Feld parrot, but I have to say "You all ROCK!"
