Hey folks, wanted to pass along some information about a Dive-A-Thon our venture crew is having. The goal of the event is to keep a series of divers (groups of 4) underwater for a 48 hours. They will begin at 3pm on friday, Sept 19 and finish at 3pm on sunday, Sept 21. The purpose of the event is to allow the coed group of kids, ages 14-20 to raise money to facilitate their diving activities.

For those who dont know what venturing is, it is a youth development program of the Boy Scouts of America for young men and women who are 14 (and have completed the eighth grade) through 20 years of age. The purpose of this program is to provide positive experiences to help young people mature and to prepare them to become responsible and caring adults. To learn more about venturing, visit this link, BSA Venturing.

This is a scuba based crew, the youth group comes up with what they would like to do and the advisors, the adult parents realistically identifies the requirements to achieve their goals and they youth must go out and raise the money to facilitate achieving their goals. They have decided to do this dive-a-thon to help them raise the money for their activities, what we need is divers to help fill the 48 hours. The dive is held in the pool at the Hilton on the beach in Indialantic, FL. The Hilton is offering a discounted rated for anyone wishing to stay overnight.

If this is something you might be interested in please contact me either by pm, email, or calling the store.

Thanks for your support

Bump.

Less than 2 weeks to go before the start of the Dive-A-Thon. There are still some time slots open if any of you would like to come visit the Space Coast and spend an hour or two underwater playing games.
