For MAST Members

From Carrie Sowden
The upcoming summer will be a summer of finishing up projects.  We will be working on three different shipwrecks, completing the site plans that were started in the last two years.

Saturday, June 28 – “Jug” Wreck (Ivanhoe)
Sunday, June 29 – “Jug” Wreck (Ivanhoe)
Saturday, July 26 – Dundee
Saturday, August 16 – Sarah E. Sheldon
Sunday, August 17 – Sarah E. Sheldon
 
Each diver can go out for two days during the summer.  The sign up for the each day is first come, first serve.  Please check your calendars prior to signing up.  Make sure you schedule the entire day to spend with this activity; we usually leave the dock around 8 or 9 am and often don’t return until 4 or 5 pm. 

There is room for 20 divers each day, and 2 – 3 non divers.  Each day I’m also looking for a certified divemaster or instructor to be the dive safety officer.  If you are willing to help in this capacity (you usually get to dive too), please let me know.

To sign up, email or call me to reserve your spot.  As always, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call or email me.
