Join us next Tuesday February 4 at Dickie Jo's by VRC for our monthly meeting. We have the room from 6-8p and the meeting starts at 630p. Come early for food, drink and conversation!

Carolyn Caporusso from Clean Coast Bonaire will join us on Zoom to tell us about her work focused on cleaning microplastics from the coast. Rick met her last time he was down there and was impressed with her effort and dedication. It's an issue that affects all of us and should be an interesting discussion.

Andrew will also talk about tides and how to determine a good dive time. What website do you use? How close is the station to the dive site? What's the flood and ebb rate? All good things to have figured out before you get in the water!

And we have some cool raffle prizes too!
