September President’s Message

Our summer is practically over! Where did it go? We patiently wait for its arrival all winter and dream about warm water, it comes, and then it’s gone. That’s the bad news. The good news is that the water is still warm and we still have a couple of months to enjoy it before it chills down.

On September 20 we are going to hopefully get a glimpse of the Goliath Groupers that use the wrecks as a romantic getaway. We will be on the Ocean Quest Scuba boat. Please see the calendar for all of the details

Our annual seafood festival will be held at the Firefighters Benevolent Association, on October 4. To avoid the ire of Joe, make sure your seafood is defrosted. Don’t forget to bring an appetizer, side dish or dessert. We will provide the usual wine, beer, soft drinks and water. If you have a favorite beverage feel free to bring it. I hope to see a lot of you there. Feel free to invite guests. Price for members $15 and for guests $20.

Despite my somber opening, we still have lots of warm water dives on the schedule. Be sure to sign up and join us.

Live long and lobster!

Jeff Raffa
