Dive for a Cure 2009

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. If you know someone who has battled breast cancer or not, the numbers are startling: one in eight women (and one in a thousand men) will be diagnosed with breast cancer and of those, 23% will not survive.

I am proud to say that several incredible women I know ran Dive for a Cure last year and are about to host the 2009 Dive for a Cure event on October 10th in Florence, OR. If you’re like me and can’t attend, there are still ways to get involved with the 2009 Dive for a Cure event.

Dive for a Cure has a great Facebook community as well, complete with event updates, photos and videos from last year.

This is a great cause, a wonderful group of people and something we all need to be aware of.

Mass Media Exposure for the SCUBA Industry

Over a year ago, I mentioned how Sea Hunt was available on Hulu. Back then, I lamented: we haven’t seen any type of underwater television series since 1996, almost 15 years. I’ve since had the discussion several times wishing there would be some great exposure for SCUBA in the mass media. Fast forward a year,…
