Get Salty and Socialize in the Lower Keys

[KWBuddy]

A while back I asked whether there was any interest in having a regular social event for Scubaboard members in the Keys, but there wasn't a lot of response. During talks with local divers, it seems that they wanted to dive rather than just talk about it. Seems obvious when put that way, doesn’t it?

So I have decided to modify the event a little and make it an afternoon dive followed by a social. Hopefully a couple of dive shops will come on board and offer afternoon dive trips for interested members. Of course, the dive is optional and you are welcome for just the dinner, if you wish.

If this works out we can have a couple of events every month. One event could focus on the Lower Keys while a second could serve the Upper Keys and Key Largo.

For the Lower Keys Get Salty and Socialize, two venues have been suggested; Mangrove Mama's and Geiger Key Marina. Mangrove Mama's has great Keys food, and is easy to find. It is located at MM20 right on US1. Geiger Key Marina has a Lower Keys ambience that makes it distinctive, but is located off the highway.

Ideas? Input? Rotten tomatoes??

We live in the upper keys and were very shocked to find no dive clubs.Definitely would be interested and there are plenty of restaurants and dive shops up here that we could use.

There are two responses from the upper Keys and nothing for the lower Keys, so I suggest that the first Get Salty and Socialize be held in the upper Keys. How about the third weekend in February. That would be an afternoon dive on Saturday February 18 with a dinner afterward. I'll leave it to Deeper Thoughts and Reefman to pick the restaurant and dive shop, since they are locals.

If I can make it up I will, no promises though. I'm starting to book February weekends.
