Link to a website for an organization my older brother and one of his follow U.S. Coast Guard members established. Check it out! They got some cool gear and I'm sure would love some aid from the dive world to help them grow (services, sponsorship, etc.)

Also, they recently published a book after being stationed at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and did some diving in the near-unchartered waters near the Prison. Here's some info:

The book was recently review in the August 2006 issue of "Northeast Dive News". The magazine had the following to describe the book:

GTMO out of diving

“Getting sent to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba; courtesy of the U.S. Government is decidedly bad news for prisoners, and a potentially bleak assignment for military personnel who oversee them. Adam M. Grohman of Long Island, N.Y., and Andrew R. Campbell of San Francisco (GO BIG BRO!!) made the most of their Navy tour (mistake – U.S.C.G.) there by diving some of the least visited waters in the hemisphere. “Dive GTMO” from LuLu Press pools their experiences and photos into a 68-page soft cover book. After a short history of the base, they offer tips on diving there, starting with where to get certified and obtain gera and air fills. Tips on entries for windward and leeward shore sites are given and are accompanied with photos. Nearly half of the book is devoted to regulations that must be followed while diving protected waters off the military installation. Despite the rules, the authors enthuse over the reef life and share their color shots to prove it’s there. This is a great how to book for anyone who’s received orders for a tour at GTMO. No ISBN.
