Dive & Snorkel Club Meeting

  • 26 October 2016
  • 6:30 PM
  • The ALYC Hut

We are fortunate to have Capt. Patrick Smith return to provide our club with another fascinating presentation. If you missed Patrick’s presentation last spring, you certainly won’t want to miss this opportunity to hear him this time! Patrick will be presenting on the Navy Avenger torpedo bomber that was discovered off the Channel Islands. Years of his and others research have uncovered the amazing history of this aircraft both aloft and on the sea floor off Anacapa Island. 


Patrick is regarded as one of the foremost authorities on West Coast maritime history. With over 50 years of recreational, professional and scientific dive experience, Patrick has published numerous articles on maritime archeology and co-authored the book Shipwrecks of Southern California. He also serves on numerous marine and archaeological research boards, while consulting to a number of governmental agencies on these topics. 


At our meeting we will also have some short updates on recent underwater cleanups and the upcoming holiday party we are planning for November!
