PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Well, the pig roast was a huge success. If you missed it, you missed a fun evening with great food and great people. We never know how many people will show up for our parties so I have to tell you that I was happy with the turnout. Let’s hope we can keep it going for the seafood fest in the fall. Thanks especially to Joe Smariga, for taking care of the pig and everyone else who helped with the set up and break down. Thanks also to everyone who brought the delicious sides, appetizers and desserts. Everything was terrific.

With summer approaching, many of you who haven’t been diving in the winter will be getting back into the water. Before you go please be sure to check out all of your gear and have it serviced if necessary. You don’t want to find out you have an equipment problem on a dive boat or worse, under water.

We have lots of activities planned. Be sure to check the calendar out and fill out an interest form on the website to take part. Be sure to either mail your payment or pay with PayPal.

The water is slowly warming up and I hope to be in a 3mm suit the next time I’m out. The winds have been awful lately which has kept me out of the water for quite some time. Hopefully the weather will be more favorable for being out on a boat in the near future.

I hope to see a lot of you on the events we have planned.

Live long and lobster.

Jeff Raffa
President SFDI
