Next newsletter will be Friday, September 17th.  Enjoy the holiday and remember Reef Jam next weekend! 


HAPPY BIRTHDAY RICK ROLLINS!


Since this is Rick's birthday I asked him where he would like to dive.  He said "Saturday morning Armageddon!  So that's what we'll do (weather permitting)!
Meet up at
N2 The Blue Dive Shop next to Coconuts On The Beach Saturday, August 28th at 9AM.
If the water looks good for Armageddon then that's what we'll do.  if not then we'll dive the pier.  Armageddon is a kick out from shore and requires wearing booties to enter the water.
Gloves also suggested. 

The giveaway for this dive will be:

Akona Mask Bag Plus Akona Antifog Solution

You must be a current paid member of the St. Croix Dive Association to win.
