Weather Forecast for Saturday is 46 and Sunny. Perfect weather for a winter dive for charity.

Also DUI is going to be supplying some drysuits for those who are drysuit certified or with an instructor.
 
Be sure to take lots of pictures and post them for those of us stuck in the frigid South. We are expecting lows in the sixties today. How whack is that?
 
How would you like to win one of these this weekend? Make sure to buy some raffle tickets. All proceeds from the raffle go to the Sandy Hook School Support FundHalcyon Traveler BC System | Halcyon

Thank you Halcyon for your generous donation.
