September 2011 | August 2011 | July 2011 | June 2011 | May 2011 | April 2011 | March 2011 | February 2011 | January 2011 | December 2010 | November 2010 | October 2010 | September 2010 | August 2010
Every year, the Hammerheads has a photo contest at the October meeting. The winning 13 pictures are incorporated into a beautiful calendar available for purchase and you just might get to say you have "been published." The rules are simple:
Bring your photos to the September meeting or anytime before the start of the October meeting.
We kicked off our new format in September 2010. If you are new or have not attended a meeting since last September, you cannot imagine the excitement! Each meeting has a surprise guest. Before, our only guest (aka: famous dive person!) was only available at our yearly banquet or special event. These events usually involved big bucks for members and the club. Now, thanks Skype technology, the world is at our fingertips! Each month, you will get to meet people from all over the world talking about everything dive related. They do a short presentation and follow up with Q&A. It has been AWESOME!
Since we do not announce our "surprise guest" in advance (after all, then it would not be a surprise, would it?), you have to come to the meeting to find out what famous dive person will "attend".
