• Happy Holidays to one and ALL!!!
• Congratulations to Bruce and Ethan Giesbrecht - new divers!
• We have been thinking about what makes Island Ventures so special - it's YOU the divers!
• We are proud to say that we have not had a price increase since June 2008 - hopefully that keeps diving with us within your budgets.
• Darrell and Ann have STILL been working on projects on their sailboat during their spare time.
• Come dive in the New Year at Island Ventures - what a great way to start 2010!!

• What a wonderful summer this has been!  Lots of divers old and new.
• Watch the video about us on the Florida Keys website: http://www.fla-keys.com/videos/VF/?view=keylargo
• The waters are warm and calm (at least until a few weeks ago)!
• Darrell and Ann have been working on projects on their sailboat during their spare time.
• Come dive the Spiegel Grove with us and see if you can find the frog fish that has been spotted there.

• Where in the world did March, April, and May go????
• Diversity was in the boat yard for a fresh coat of bottom paint and USCG hull inspection - she passed!  She had some "prior" keel damage that was not repaired well so she took a little longer to put back to right.
• We have started running the summer program with Marine Lab scuba trips again - keeps us busy!
• Darrell and Ann bought a sailboat and that was what took most of April and May!
• And of course Roxy has been on manatee patrol at the docks - see below!
• Bob and Michelle got engaged while they were here this trip!!!!
