A third dive rally was held at the new College of Oceaneering in San Diego. Several members brought along their new Chinese hats to test and Harold Nething (aka "Frogman") borrowed scuba gear and a vintage regulator from Mark Howell and made a dive in scuba gear, the first in many years.
We all want to say "Thanks" to the COO-SD management, staff and students for their hospitility, the delicious lunch, and the use of their facility.
