Calling All Coast Guard Active Duty, Reserve, and Auxiliary Guam Divers

As one of his last dives on Guam, CAPT. Pruett has chartered a MDA dive boat.  The dive will be on June 23rd, leaving the dock at 1330.  If weather permits, planning will entail doing Blue and White (just outside the mouth of Apra Harbor to the right) and the American Tanker Dive.  

For those who are interested in joining CAPT. Pruett, and to help celebrate Coast Guard Guam, please advise.  We are limited to 25 divers, and a few extra observers who do not want to dive but want to go on the trip.  You will need to be advanced dive certified as the dives involve depth beyond 60 feet.  The cost per diver is $35.00 plus tanks.  Snacks/food and champaign will be provided.

RSVP Date:  9JUN17.  RSVP call Triciapruett@aol.com.  Spouses/significant others are invited. 

Space is limited so please RSVP earlier then later.

This is not a required event and is meant to be an opportunity for fun and camaraderie.
