EXTRACT: "Coral reefs, the most bio-diverse and productive ecosystems on the planet, are one of the most sensitive indicators of the ocean’s health. Even though they occupy only 0.1% of the ocean, they are home to a quarter of marine species. They have a global economic value of 30 billion USD and provide goods and services (fisheries, tourism, coastal protection, source of medical advance and cultural value) to 500 million people in 94 countries around the world."

How a Scuba Diving Regulator's First Stage Works

Due to the inclement weather that we've been experiencing these last few weeks, our October 31 drawing has been postponed until November 30. This is great news because you still have time to get your raffle tickets!

Each raffle ticket is a donation of $20 which gets you a chance drawing for an evening cocktail cruise for four up the intercoastal and down the ocean.

Donate today!

For those wondering, the Osprey made it thru Irma just fine. The dock however did suffer some damage. The crew has been fixing it these last few days. We should be back in full operation within a few days.
