We've always preached that Chamber Day, an event that benefits the Catalina Hyperbaric Chamber, is "ecumenical." By that, we mean it transcends the politics that sometimes affects our sport.
With that in mind, we're very happy to announce that both PADI and NAUI have donated $1000 to the Michael Kane $10K Chamber Challenge to push our total so far past the $3000 mark!!! We sincerely appreciate the fact that these two organizations recognizee the importance of having our Catalina available to us on a 24/7/365 basis and are willing to put some bucks behind that notion.
And this is all because Michael Kane has once again put up $10,000 of his own money and is challenging the dive community to match it. So once again we say . . . who's next??????
