About this event




This event is created to give an opportunity to be able to become a member and dive off the GLSPS Research Vessel without being on a project.  It is a chance to see how the GLSPS engages in their projects aboard the vessel.
  

We are inviting both members and non-members to join us for this experience.  The fees that are associated with this event are $60.00 or $35.00.  The $60.00 includes, food, air-fills between dives and a GLSPS "Crew" Membership for Non Members.   The $35.00 fee is for current members to split food costs and air-fills between dives.  This also is sleeping aboard the RV Preservation if you desire.  If you are already a member, the fee will only be $35.00.  If interested, please register for this really cool event.


The diving itinerary is listed below.


If you have any questions about the event, please contact Lee Fredrickson.  Contact info below.


With Lee F as your Program Leader his humor will guarantee you a good time!  


We hope to see a few familiar and new faces.
