SCRAPBOOK

It has been three years since we participated in Magic Hat's Mardi Gras parade here in Burlington so we thought it was time to give it a go again! This year we had our "Under the Sea" themed float with hard hat divers, mermaids, little scuba divers and shirtless men in nothing but swim trunks and scuba gear. And since Pearl was returned earlier in the week she had the best view in the house atop the cab of the truck looking out at all the excited Mardi Gras-ers. Check out some of the pictures from Mardi Gras!

Last year we ran a group trip to Wakatobi, Indonesia. Although, only four divers went, they had an amazing time spending a few days traveling around Bali before heading over to the small island of Wakatobi for 10 nights. The diving adventures there were amazing with four dozen dive sites to choose from as well as the famous House Reef literally right off the resorts beach. Here are a few photos taken by one of the travelers to give you an idea of just how beautiful Wakatobi really is.

Splash! started with a fundraising idea from long-time Waterfront Diving Center customer and friend, Frank Bell, and it was made into a wave of love by Lisetta Hansen. In only a few short months, Lisetta had enlisted the help of 28 volunteers, and secured terrific prize donations from both local and National sponsors. Splash! was a tremendous success. It was also a fun day of diving, snorkeling, activities for kids, and a terrific BBQ. Thank you to everyone who navigated the poker run, tried SCUBA, snorkeled, purchased (and sold) raffle rickets, or big in the silent auction. We raised over $6,000 for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation! We can't wait to do it again next year!
