NEXT CLUB MEETING Thursday July 9, 2009 DETAILS HERE
Club News
Meeting News
The club's monthly meeting was held on June 11th, 2009 at Maine Divers Scuba Center in Portland and was well attended including even more new faces! Welcome, to all of you first time attendees.

July Meeting Cookout
Don't miss the July 9th meeting! We'll kick it off with complimentary burgers and dogs. If you'd care to bring a potluck salad or desert to share that would be appreciated. If you post what you plan to bring on the Yahoo board it will help diversify the contributions.

Early Bird Dives
The club dives are scheduled as single tank events. For some members making it a 2-dive outing is desirable. Divers and dive coordinators are encouraged to plan an early bird dive that lets them make a second dive at the scheduled time with the club as a whole. This way you can enjoy 2 dives and we can all head off for some après dive chow and chat.

Hyperbaric Chamber News
It has been learned that not all listed recompression chambers are staffed and trained to treat dive emergencies 24/7. Members are researching the region's options and will be reporting back with actual capabilities.

Invasive Species
Do you want to learn more about invasive plants that are infesting some of our fresh water locations? Check this page for this summer's scheduled free workshops and training opportunities.

Maine-iacDivers Yahoo Group Tutorial
At the June meeting we attempted to demonstrate the functions of the Yahoo Group. Scheduled maintenance by Yahoo defeated our best intentions. Here is a link to a tutorial on member functionality. Let me add 2 important points. First, select "Individual e-mails" to get timely information. Second, be sure to include the e-mail address that you realy do monitor. The default is a Yahoo e-mail account. The mail section of the tutorial illustrates how to add your regular address.


Club Dive Schedule
The roster of club dives for the season has been completed. The next event is on July 11th. Be sure to check it out and mark your calendar. See the Upcomming Events page.


Attention New Divers!
Two of a new divers biggest challenges can be finding cash for gear and hooking up with dive buddies. The Maine-iac Divers are ready to help with both. The club dues are waived for the year you get certified. Just come to the next meeting with your completed application or get one from Scott and fill it out on the spot. Then you can use the money you saved to join in the fun.


Club Forum
The club's online forum is the Yahoo Group "Maine-iacDivers". Use this forum to link up for dives or to share dive reports and photos. A dive is a terrible thing to waste so share the joy.
