College of Oceaneering Rally
June 5, 2004

The Rally held at the College of Oceaneering on June 5 brought out a wide variety of diving enthusiast. We not only had a good turnout of members, but we the Navy, the Coast Guard, L.A. Firemen, and even a film crew from Edelman Productions. After "dunking" sailors and firemen, the filming crew went to work filming the dress-in and the Mark V diver in the water. A long, busy day!
