Join us on May 13th at La Siesta Restaurant on Midlothian Turnpike, our guest speaker will be Gary Gentile . He will present "Shipwrecks of North Carolina" A tour of this Gulf Stream state shows diving at its best: warm water, fantastic visibility, shipwrecks galore, colorful tropical fish, and luxuriant corals. See the lovely and mysterious octopus, and experience a sand tiger shark bite the photographer's lens. Visit the wrecks of two world wars, see awesome wreck profiles and a painter's palette of encrustation, beneath which lie naturally disguised artifacts, and be there when the author finds and recovers the bell that positively identified the Manuela. Books and other items will be available for purchase and signed by the author. Socializing begins at 6:00 p.m. and the meeting starts at 7:00 p.m. We look forward to seeing you there!

Enter the wild, exciting, and exotic world of Gary Gentile: author, lecturer, photographer, explorer, and deep-sea wreck-diver. Enter a world of adventure and thrills tempered by poetry and subtle beauty. Gary will take you to shipwrecks, show you marine life, and explore the great outdoors the way no one else can.
Gary has written 45 books, published over 3,000 photographs, discovered more than 40 shipwrecks, and led a life of adventure.
Of the thousands of decompression dives that Gary has made, over 180 of them were on the Grand Dame of the Sea: the Andrea Doria. He was the first scuba diver to enter the First Class Dining Room, from which he recovered many examples of elegant china. He also recovered and restored hundreds of items of jewelry and souvenirs from the Gift Shop, located at a depth of 220 feet. More important, he discovered and recovered a number of ceramic panels that once adorned the walls of the First Class Bar. These colorful panels were the work of famed Italian artist Romano Rui.
We look forward to seeing you there!
