What do you think of dive clubs?

[Eric Sedletzky]

Over the last nine months or so, I've been a founding member of another local dive club. We don't have meetings, but we have a standing weekly dive. In addition, we've had boat dives and organized a weekend club trip; last Saturday, we had a dive and BBQ (and it wasn't the first). We've done dive projects and a site survey. We don't have quite the photographers that BAUE has, though . . . And all of our activities are pretty much organized, publicized and recorded on FB.

Yeah, but do you have a Tiki Bar?

No, but it's a great idea!

We have pineapple chunks marinated in brown sugar and bourbon, and barbecued, though . . .

Well, then. You HAVE to bring them down next year!

That's why LDSs shouldn't be allowed to be officially involved in scuba clubs. It turns the club into an extension of the shop.

Not necessarily a bad thing. Our shop asked me to start a dive club last November, it has a bunch of wonderful, fun active divers. Club members get discounts on classes, club prices for dive boat charters. 4 of the store's instructors are in the club, so the club is having an education night in November. Do new products get mentioned? Sometimes, so far the clubs monthly dive outings have been planned by the club, but It was brought up last meeting about a trip to NC, the store will rob ably do the planning for that, why? Everyone has full time jobs and would rather dive in their free time.

Freudian slip?
