ECDT 1,000 Islands
Posted By at 3:12 PM
Another ECDT has come and gone. This was our largest group to date: 24 divers and 5 non-divers. We had a few hiccups but all in all, I think the trip went very smoothly. The weather was fantastic and even on the cool side in the mornings.
A big thanks goes out to Craig Morris for heading up our second boat.
We have already secured Abucs Scuba for the same weekend next year so remember to sign up early so you don;t miss the boat.

New Blog for Jim V.
Posted By at 11:30 AM
Hello all,
I've decided to combine my Blog with the manually entered Web News I post. It was becoming a pain to update bot independently.
Now, the Scuba News link on the Home Page is automatically updated via an XML feed. My old blog can be accessed from the link on the left.
There will be lots going on here so keep checking back!
