(As of 4/15/09 - last update was 4/6/09)

We have three weeks to go and (hopefully) you've got your taxes behind you so now you can concentrate on Chamber Day. (Doesn't it become the center of EVERYONE'S life about now???)

In all seriousness, we can never remind you too much how much our Chamber relies on you or how much you will rely on the Chamber in the event of a diving emergency. Volunteering out on the island can be described as hours of tedium broken by moments of sheer adrenalin rush when you know someone's coming in and needs your help.

Now we would hope your adrenalin isn't rushing as much, but we do want you to understand that your Chamber needs you. And that's why we do this fund-raising event every year. Not only is it fun, not only does it help the dive community come together, not only does it help kick off the busier diving time of the year, but it helps our Chamber. And that's what it's all about.

So hopefully you can join the throngs and get involved in whatever way works for you. the remaining three weeks will fly by pretty quickly and we'd like to get you involved with Chamber Day 2009 now,.

Here's where we are as of 7PM on April 15:
