Sunday, October
14th
South Tavernier with Capt. Slates 40th
Anniversary Celebration
Capt.
Slate offered diving for the price he charged when
he opened his first dive operation forty years ago
in 1978 - just $18.50. In addition to almost free
diving were free hamburgers and hot dogs before
the dives to help us celebrate. Thank you Capt.
Slate for 40 years of great diving!
