Kayak Diving Presentation @ May Club Meeting

Miki — Mon, 07 May 2012 13:28:50 +0000

Debby Bradford, a former NAUI instructor from Florida, is an avid kayak diver. She is a member of the KAYUBA Kayak SCUBA club of Fort Lauderdale, and she actually met her life partner, Tom, because of their mutual interest in the sport. You will enjoy her multimedia experience, which will answer the first question on everyone’s lips, “how do you get your gear and your body in and out of the kayak?” Debby will discuss boat selection, gear loading and security, safety, launch points, and why kayak diving is the perfect sport for all St. Croix divers and snorkelers.

January Club Dive, Sunday 15th

Miki — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 11:30:18 +0000

We are starting off the new year with a family friendly activity that both divers and non-divers can enjoy!

Come spend the day at Butler Bay. Located on the northwest side of the island, this cove sports a lovely sand beach where snorkeling or swimming are a fun option if diving is not your thing. If diving is your thing you can either dive the inner reef or take the shuttle boat out to be dropped off at the wrecks, you will do your safety stop with the swim back into shore.

This is a free club activity, however if any of our professionals give you some extra help you might consider a tip, as this is a “busman’s holiday” for them.

Pack a lunch, bring chairs and whatever gear you will need and meet us out on the beach! The fun begins at 9:30 am, hope to see you there!
