SEPTEMBER 18 MEETING

Please join us in the Times Mirror room of the Natural History Museum at 7:30pm, Wednesday September 18, for monthly minicomps, trip reports and our annual Swap Meet!

TRIP REPORTS

We love having one or two people share their dive experiences at the beginning of meetings, so if you have a short trip report (about 5 minutes) you'd like to share, please e-mail the webmaster.

SWAP MEET

Lots of us have old camera or dive gear hanging around that we’re not using. If it’s still in good shape, please bring it to the meeting. Members are encouraged to donate, trade, or sell (at reasonable prices) their unused equipment to meeting attendees.

SEPTEMBER MINICOMP:

This month’s minicomp topics are "Diver in Scene" (stills) and "Cleaning Stations" (video). Please submit your entries using our upload form no later than 11:59pm Tuesday September 17. OTHER NEWS: We still have spots available on our two-day Truth trip October 26-27. Photos taken on this trip can be entered in the LAUPS shootout (judging at November meeting). Sign up here!

Thanks to Mike Bartick of Crystal Blue Resort in Anilao for showing us some inspiring photos from his travels in the Philippines!
