The memorial is comprised of a 100-foot circle surrounded by life-sized statutes of service members representing all branches of the armed forces. You and your family and friends are invited to join us!! The trip is planned for Sat. May 28th (Memorial Day weekend), which is a great way to pay respect to our heroes that have protected us and our freedom. This is a two-tank trip, so we will also dive a second dive site.

If you join us, please send an email to Jvanheest@pcpao.org with your waiver form and the names of any guest divers in your group so that we have a gauge on the overall number. It’s going to be a great trip…and we’ll be sure to take some video both topside and underwater so our non-diver colleagues can see what we’re up to. Maybe it will inspire them to get certified before our next adventure😊
