Topics/Agenda:

• Presentation by Catalina Marine Society, an organization that facilitates marine research projects in the Catalina Bight. We’ll explore opportunities to support CMS mission.
• We have a number of cruises planned this year at ALYC (Dana Point, Alamitos Bay, Cabrillo Beach and especially, Catalina). We may well have some unique occasions to dive in locations around the raft-up areas only accessible by boat. We’ll also talk about the possibility of arranging a tour of the Hyperbaric Chamber at USC/Wrigley during the Blue Water Regatta in September.
• Do some ‘brain storming’ about arranging other dive trips as members of ALYC
• Talk about holding periodic meetings with invited speakers relevant to scuba diving
• One of the participants from Catalina Marine Society is a volunteer diver with the Aquarium of the Pacific. We’ve asked him to share some of the opportunities to volunteer with AOP.
• Other dive related ideas
