Aquatic Safaris Dive Club

Started in June 2005, Aquatic Safaris is sponsoring a dive club for our local and regional divers.   We wish to provide to our customers and students a way to come together with their fellow divers so they can socialize together, experience what our local diving destinations have to offer, and explore the world on our planned expeditions to exotic locations around the world.

Our club meetings will be held once a month on the Second Thursday of every month. Those meetings will be held at various restaurants around town.   During these meetings our members will be able to meet and socialize with their diving brethren.   The dive club will sometimes sponsor key-note speakers for presentations of interest or are important within the diving community.   During those meetings, we will also discuss the monthly club charter excursion and plan our future dive expeditions around the globe.   We emphasize that even though the club will be an Aquatic Safaris sponsored dive club, it will be a club of divers by divers, where the club members greatly decide the direction of the club.   Please see our list of benefits below.
