Gloria will show a video from her liveaboard off Socorro. Diving around Socorro is usually done on a liveaboard and has been called the Mexican Gallapagos (of course Cocos Islands have been called the Gallapagos of Central America, and there is only one group of islands known as the Gallapagos). But Socorro is closer to Washington than the real Gallapagos, so come find out how close Socorro is to the real thing.

Brad will show pictures and talk about his recent dive trip to the Mayan Riviera, better known as the Yucatan in Mexico. We will also discuss past dive trips (a liveaboard from St. Maarten) and future dive trips (Bonaire, Key West, and others).

New Meeting Locations in January and February

We're trying to find the perfect location with room, parking, and good, inexpensive food. We will still meet the first Wednesday of the month. Both of our trial locations are near where we have met in the past.

We will have a social half hour starting at 7:00 PM. This is a chance to talk, order drinks and food, etc. The meeting will start at 7:30. Our meetings usually end between 9:00 and 9:30 PM.
