What
kind of club is South
Florida Divers? We
are a dive and
social club. We have
diving and social
events
nearly every week. More
diving occurs in the
warmer months, but we
have local dives every
month of the
year. Catching
lobsters is a popular
past time with many of
the members.
What about social
events? We enjoy
getting together for
beach picnics, dinner on
the town, bike rides,
camping
trips, holiday
boat cruises, or just
comparing dive stories
and photos. Three of our
most popular events are
our pig roast in the
spring, a seafood
fest in September and a
holiday party in early
December. Typically
80-100 people choose not
to miss these fun
events.
Where
do you dive? Most
of our diving is in the
Miami, Ft. Lauderdale,
Palm Beach area and
Jupiter area, where we
do boat
and shore diving. We get
down to the Keys several
times each year and we
schedule three or more
trips out of
country per year. See
our newsletter for
scheduled trips.
What
about club meetings?
We have a monthly
meeting, the first
Wednesday of the month,
at the Veterans
of Foreign Wars Post
1966, 350 SW 25th
Street, Ft.
Lauderdale. The
meeting starts with a 30
minute
social from 7:00-7:30
then the business
section from 7:30-8:00,
a short break, then the
program or
speaker. We have some
very interesting
speakers, covering
topics such as wrecks,
dive equipment, updates
on important ocean or
fresh water environment
issues or archeological
studies involving
diving.
How
does the club organize
all these events?
South
Florida Divers is a
volunteer organization,
so club members schedule
each event. Each event,
social or diving, has a
trip leader and a
sign-up sheet. We
go
over the calendar at
each club meeting,
it too is included in
the newsletters on this
website. We have a table
set up with the sign-up
sheets and a table for
the treasurer if funds
are required. The
sign-up sheet has
the details about the
trip, location, time,
cost (if any), and the
trip leader. Don't
miss the photos from
previous events, they
too are on display and
within this web
site.
What
about membership?
Membership dues cover
each calendar year and
are $70 for individual
and $100
for family. We ask that
you be a member before
participating in club
events
[other than the club
meetings and dinner on
the town].

What�s
the best way to get
