Hey Florida divers, Soldiers Undertaking Disabled Scuba (SUDS) is headed to Key Largo from 17-24 May. We will be bringing 8 injured veterans from Walter Reed Army Medical Center down for their checkout dives. This is an open charter for all certified divers who want to support our wounded warriors. The event is called Operation Bottom Time & we need to fill the boats to help fund the trip. More info is on our website: SUDS Diving > Welcome to SUDS
Earlier this month we took 6 guys from Walter Reed down to GTMO, Cuba for certification, 2 went on to get their advanced o/w cert. as well. Photos from the trip are on our website. Hope to see you in the Keys.
Best,
John W. Thompson
 
This is a very worthy cause and we are planning a lot of activities for these Soldiers and the participants. Conch Republic Divers, Ocean Divers, Horizon Divers, and Atlantis Divers will be providing charters for this great cause.

We'd love to have you come dive with these veteran's so please call one of us to set up your dives. Also if you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me.

Good Diving/Hunting,
 
SB'ers should also be aware that there is a dedicated forum to SUDS and Operation Bottom Time (here on SB).

Please support this effort. I know they need monitary support, as well as divers. So check out the SUDS forum - ScubaBoard - Operation Bottom Time
 
What a great program!

I will not be able to make it down for the entire week, but might be able to come for a couple of days.
How does it work if we would like to participate? Will a schedule be posted and we sign up with the participating charters?
 
The schedule, charter & hotel info is on the SUDS website under "Operation Bottom Time"
 
The dives and lodging links are now up on SB's Reservation System. Look for OBT or Operation Bottom Time.

Let's get behind this project. It's for a very worth cause and the soldiers would love have you come down to support them. Please go there to book your dives and lodging.

Good Diving/Hunting,
