We are a group of divers from the Victoria, BC, Canada area who get together dry once a month, and wet whenever
we can. Sometimes we learn something, sometimes we see something, sometimes we plan something, we often eat something
and we always talk.
We have a wide range of diving and other experience within the club. Our members include newly certified open water
divers, advanced divers, dive masters, and commercial divers. There are ex-dive shop managers, a dive charter operator,scientists
(an oceanographer, biologists, geomorphologist, computer), technicians (optician, electronics), a Navy marine engineer
and even a helicopter pilot in the club. So we have a lot to learn from each other.
Obviously we try to go diving whenever we can. We also meet at someone's house once a month to learn from each
other, eat munchies, talk and plan dives. We normally meet at 7 pm on the first Tuesday of each month.
Wanting to contribute to the community and to the sport, we have undertaken two projects.
The first project is surveying fish and invertebrate populations in support of the Reef Environmental Education
Foundation (REEF).
This is a fun and educational project applicable to all levels of divers.
The second project is for the more advanced divers. We have taken on the task of trying to protect the dwindling
population of cloud sponges in the Saanich Inlet. We hope to designate one or more areas where the cloud sponges
remain as marine protected areas. In the process we have also volunteered to help the Marine Ecology Station to
conduct research on the cloud sponges. |
