Happy May everyone! Spring has finally sprung and we are getting some warmer weather and warmer water. Hallelujah!

Our pig roast was a great party even if the attendance was a little low. That was
expected due to the postponement from the previous week. I think everyone there
had a good time. The weather couldn't have been better and the breeze kept the
mosquitoes away. As usual, thanks to Joe for his hard work and many hours at the grill.

With dive season upon us, please be sure to check your equipment and bring it to your dive shop and have it serviced if necessary. A couple of weeks ago there were two equipment malfunctions on a dive boat I was on. Luckily, no one was injured but in both cases those divers were done diving for the day. An equipment failure on the boat or at the surface is one thing but at depth its a whole other story. Don’t take a chance on your safety or that of your dive buddy.

We have lots of activities planned for the coming months. Please check out the calendar and join us for some fun. Be sure to fill out an E signup sheet so that we know you are coming. Some activities are payable at the time of the event and others require payment to the club before the event. If a payment to the club is necessary, please make that payment promptly. Another reminder about PayPal payments. Please take your time when paying by PayPal. You must choose sending to friends and family or your payment will default to paying for goods or services and you will incur a non refundable fee. Please be careful!

At this late date in the year the vast majority of the membership has paid their dues but unfortunately there are several of you that haven’t. Remember, you must be a member in good standing to take part in most of the club’s activities.

Live long and lobster.
