PLEASE NOTE: Due to the threat of Hurrican Frances, this has been postponed until October 2nd and 3rd. Arrangements with the boat have already been changed. Please take a moment to review and change your travel plans as need be.
Well, the long awaited arrangements for the REEF ID class have been made. Price is $40 per person. Here's our itinerary:
REEF Fish ID instructor, Rose Wasserstrom, will lead us on a shore dive on Saturday morning at The Boulders in N Hollywood Beach: 8.30 AM gear up, 9am dive. There is a fee to park of $4 (? can a local please confirm and directions to please).
This will be followed by an class in the afternoon (location TBA) to cover the aspects of Fish ID and information recording.
Sunday morning we will board the Lady Go Diver out of Deerfield Beach and heading off shore for further fish ID and skills practice. This is a 2 tank, bring your own tank trip. Boarding begins at 7:45 am, boat leaves at 8:15 am. Gear can be rented from Dixie Divers.
A test can be taken afterwards that Rose will proctor that, if passed, will have you registered with REEF as a level 2 fish identifier.
If your interested, please use the calendar link below and sign up on the RollCall! Hope to see you there!!
