5th Annual Michael J. Norwood Memorial Event Benefiting DAN

[Nema@Olympus]

Join John Chatterton May 14th-16th for the 5th Annual Michael J. Norwood Event. All proceeds from the weekend will be donated to DAN's Michael J. Norwood Memorial Research Fund. Michael was an avid diver and worked as the co-host of Deep Sea Detectives on the History Channel when he met an early death filming for the show. The fund established in his memory now serves to support research initiatives into diving accidents. For more information about the event and the Michael Norwood fund, please visit our website. The event is a fun filled weekend which includes 3 full days of diving, a dinner on Friday evening at The History Place catered by Floyd’s 1921 and a presentation by John Chatterton, along with a silent auction that evening. There will also be a BBQ on our docks after the dives on Saturday which will basically be a big party on our docks. Representatives from Scuba Pro will be on hand for the entire weekend and will have equipment with them for our guests to do dive demo’s with. Schedule of events and pricing is as follow, for complete details see our website.

May 14th - Full day Charters with John Chatterton $155

You are correct, we typically do have some pretty sweet items in our silent auction. In recent years, John Chatterton has even donated some items that he recovered from some very famous shipwrecks. Various equipment manufacturers send us stuff to auction off as well and people are typically pretty impressed with the dels they get.

YAY!

Do you have to be on the charters to attend the other festivities? I would love to attend the dinner!!

 

[Nema@Olympus]

We'd love to have your group join us! I'll respond back to your email when I get to the shop tomrrow morning. I had typed a lengthy response just before I closed up for the day and got wrapped up in a phone call and deleted it before I realized...a sure sign it was time to call it a day.
