Great Annual Fish Count

The 12th Annual GAFC is fast approaching on July 13th. It is our annual event where divers from across New England dive, snorkel or swim underwater and count the fish that they see.

After diving, everyone meets at Stage Fort Park for a BBQ, raffle prizes, and to tally up the numbers of fish counted.

This is consistantly the largest single-day fishcount event in the country, and last year we gave away over $5,000 worth of raffle prizes.

Leading up to the event, we will have Bob Michelson give a presentation on indentifying New England Fish on June 19th. Also, REEF will give an online seminar on July 13th.

NEADC Bahamas Dolphin Dream trip!

View the Trip Flyer!

Join us for a special NEADC dolphin and shark diving trip to the Bahamas, March 15-21, 2014!

We are chartering the Dolphin Dream leaving from West Palm Beach for a 7 day, 6 night trip. We will be visiting Tiger Beach, known for tiger and lemon sharks, playing with spotted dolphins and diving various other sites including hotspots for great hammerhead sharks. A number of us in the club have been on this fantastic trip in the past with Jonathan Bird and thought it would make a great club trip!

This is a very reasonable liveaboard with inexpensive airfare to Florida. Rates for the week are $1834 per person and includes all diving and meals onboard the boat. It does not include airfare/transfer. While this trip is mainly for divers, snorkelers would also enjoy the time with the dolphins. The Deposit $450.00 with the balance due by February 1, 2014

Please contact Joy with any questions about the trip. A deposit is required to hold your place. This trip will fill quickly, so please email programs@neadc.org for more details and deposit information.
