SCUBA Club Makes Many 1 Diving Trips The SCUBA club started off the ' 81- ' 82 year with its annual Labor Day trip to Newport, RI. Good weather enabled the divers to get in many dives, including two night dives. For some it was the first opportunity to catch, cook, and eat lobsters. Other trips included outings to Barnaget Light, NJ, Humarock, MA, and Sheepshed Bay, Long Island. These dives included ocean reef-diving and lobster hunting. During the winter months, some daring club members made two organized ice dives. Under for no more than twelve minutes, each enjoyed an opportunity to play polar bears. Spring leave whisked members to Key West, Florida for a week ' s worth of off-shore reef div- ing. The highlight included a trip to Pennekamp National Park, an un- derwater wildlife preserve.
