Where can I meet younger scuba divers?

Eric Keibler   Nov 10, 2010

One of our divers returned froma trip and said “don’t get me wrong, I had a good time but, this trip was all older people. I would like to go on a trip with more people my age.”  Well, I never thought of myself as older but with my birthday rapidly approaching, I am feeling older.  I guess I understand his thoughts even though I still feel as you as the rest of them.
Ashton and David thought about this too and decided what we needed was a social and diving group with a focus on younger divers.  And so the new OVI X-Divers group was formed.  Now that the concept was found, they needed a way to form it and execute it.  David being the idea man, decided a happy hour to get things started and some events focused on the group would be the method of getting people involved.

So, beginnig with the happy hour this Thursday (November 11, 2010) at the Union Bar and Grill, the group is in motion.  Ashton and David also decided that they wanted to run an X-Diver trip to Little Cayman in August as well (August 13-20, 2011).  Their plans are to host a series of Happy hours at various clubs around town over the next several months and to have some diving events (diving, food, social and fun) at one or more of our local lakes as the water warms up or the need to go diving is too great.
For those of you who want to meet a fun group of generation X divers, you should plan on dropping by the happy hour this Thursday.  David and Ashton are buying the first drink!  Contact Ashton for more details or send me an email and I will send you the invitation even if I am not invited!
