Step Beyond the Surface
Beneath the waves, another world begins,
where light dances, silence speaks,
and life appears stranger and more beautiful
than anything imagination could create.
Join SFDI,
and discover a world more fantastic
than your dreams of the sea.

AUGUST President’s messaGE
We have a very busy calendar for the rest of the summer and beyond. Lobster season will open August 6th as usual which I guess will give the lion fish a reprieve for a while. There are lots of dives scheduled so get on the website and sign up.
The Key’s weekend will be here before we know it. If you are planning on attending you need to sign up on the website because we have a limited amount of rooms. We always have a great time so think about joining us.The water is quite warm so let’s go diving.
