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.

September President’s messaGE
In most areas of our country Labor Day marks the end of summer. We are lucky because that really doesn’t apply to us here in southeast Florida. We still get to enjoy several more weeks of summer weather which means we still have warm water for diving. We have several dives on the calendar in addition to the keys weekend and the seafood fest. Check out the calendar and sign up for some fun.
Live long and lobster.
