Mike Walsh will present slides from a trip taken in February 2007 to Anthony's Key Dive Resort in Roatan. Anthony's Key offers a wide variety of Caribbean type diving including walls, sprawling reefs, a few scuddled wrecks and specialty shark and dolphin dives. Mike logged 18 dives during the week and captured them all on film.
Mike Walsh is an avid scuba diver with over 900 logged dives ranging from the lobster infested New England coast line to the crystal clear cenotes of the Yucatan to the warm/exotic waters of the south pacific.
Among a wide variety of diving experiences, Mike has searched for 25 million year old shark teeth fossils in the deep/dark rivers of the southeastern US, recovered artifacts from a sunken World War II German UBoat off Rhode Island and explored shipwrecks in Massachusetts Bay.
His most memorable dives include encountering sabre toothed tiger remains on the floor of an underwater cave in Mexico, coming eye to eye with a humpback whale just off the Rockport shore and swimming with the worlds largest Manta Rays around a remote Pacific island.
Mike received his open water certification in 1980 and has since earned trimix and cave certifications. Mike took up underwater photography in 2000 and now spends his warm water dive time hunting down the most exotic photographic subjects as passionately as he spends his cold water dive time hunting down good old New England lobsters and scallops.
Every meeting also features a raffle of various prizes ranging from dive gear to DVDs, antiques, or just about anything else. Tickets are cheap and prizes worthwhile.
Members start gathering in the bar around 6:30pm to socialize and grab a snack, and the actual meeting starts promptly at 7:30pm. During the meetings we will quickly go through the club business, followed by Dive Talk and then a short break. The break is immediately followed by the speaker presentation.
