It s time to dust off your dive gear and prepare to get wet. Prior to our January meeting, club elections were held. In a surprising twist, all of the club s current officers were re-elected to their posts despite vehement opposition from the current club officers (just kidding). Don Brown of Ski and Scuba Connection was our featured speaker. He shared photos from a recent trip to the USS Oriskany off the coast of Pensacola, Fl. If you ever wanted to dive an aircraft carrier this looks like an excellent opportunity. The meeting overall was well attended. Afterward, a strong contingent of FCDA members gathered as usual at Luigi s. FCDA member Charlie Blanchette is scheduled to present slides from a recent trip to San Salvador. At present, our remaining meetings are being scheduled and, as always, if you have footage from a recent trip and would like to share it with the club please let Matt or me know. As dive season is rapidly approaching, get your gear serviced. It s never fun to realize that your regulator needs service in 60 plus feet of water.mike Trip Report page 7 FCDA Member Ads page 9 Next FCDA Meeting page 10

3 Page 3 Bonaire Strives To Be First Caribbean Island Powered By 100% Sustainable Energy Author: Matt J. Weiss / February 17, 2009 DivePhotoGuide.com The island of Bonaire continues on its path toward becoming the first Caribbean island powered by 100% sustainable energy. In 2007, the island government, which takes pride in the islands beauty and nature preservation, agreed to a multi-faceted project to reduce its dependence on fossil fuel energy by developing an energy system comprised of an 11MW wind farm, 14MW biodiesel plant, and a 3MW backup battery. Ecopower Bonaire BV, a consortium consisting of Evelop, Enercon, and MAN, is spearheading this project that is expected to complete its first phase by the end of The project developers have already completed the installation of a pilot 330KW wind turbine, whose current energy production exceeds any initial expectations. Accordingly, 12 additional 990 KW wind turbines are being installed on the north coast of the island, where wind and surf conditions are most ideal. By the end of 2009, these wind turbines should produce 44% of the islands energy. The remaining 56% will be produced by the planned 14MW biodiesel generators, utilizing fuel derived from algae, which will enable the island to shift to 100% sustainable energy Continmued on page 5 New England's Tech Diving Center!

6 Page 6 Manatee Trip Jan2009 By George Sharrard It s often times very easy to over look the great diving opportunities right in out own backyard. Pretty much, everyone knows about my passion for NorthEast wreck diving. But years ago, when diving was new, I read a story about the manatee that gather each winter in Crystal River, Florida. From that time to this day I ve been interested in manatees. So whenever I find myself in northern Florida I make an effort to float around in Crystal River for a day or two. There are many things you need to know about manatee if you want to have a successful encounter. Most of the information you ll come across will emphasize how shy manatee are. It s a federal crime to harass a manatee and this includes holding on to, chasing, or simply crowding these floating blimps. Every legitimate snorkel operation in the area will require you to watch a Fish and Wildlife Service video on how you are to conduct yourself. What the video fails to mention is that left to themselves manatee like snorklers -especially young manatees. Over the years, I found that almost every manatee has itchy skin. Following the rules, it s OK to use one hand to scratch a manatee that approaches you. The little guys with the bumpy skin will approach you and allow you to rub their back. They respond to your touch by stopping and floating next to you. You scratch, they roll over. Many of the larger manatee (and they are LARGE!) will make circle patterns. They swim next to you and let you scratch them but instead of stopping they swim by only to return a moment later for another scratch. Photographers will find that a friendly manatee is often too close to get a good picture. You back up they follow. I had one little fellow who kept giving my camera a nose bump. This is a trip for the whole family.
7 Atlantis Dive Charters announces a winter dive schedule I received the following from Capt. Gary Chellis Greetings divers, Atlantis Dive Charters now has the use of a very nice boat for this winter season. It is a heated 38 ft custom lobster hull boat set up for diving. The boat is located in Mystic,CT. Charters will run on Saturdays and Wednesdays. Because of the unpredictable weather in this area in the winter. The charters will be kept to the Fishers Island area.the boat will either go to the Volund,Onondaga or Valve Wreck. If the weather is real nice we can run to the Snug Harbor or Grecian. These will be one tank dives and the depths are kept to 100 ft. max. The charter fees are $80 for the Volund,Onondaga and Valve Wreck. $120 for the Grecian and Snug Harbor. Most departure will be late morning to let things warm up a bit. Feb 2, 2009 Atlantis Dive Trip report by FCDA member Robert Witter Got out yesterday. Nice weather although the wind had a bite. Nice viz feet. Chilly on the bottom (37 degrees) although I only felt it in my hands. I layered the lighter undergarments under the heavier ones (both Fourth Element) per their website instructions and I was completely fine. I had a chance to try out my new xmas/birthday present a Greenforce umbilical LED which I liked a lot. The boat is comfortable for 6 (and heated) although it is not really set up as a dive boat. Page 7 It has a heavy duty plastic table in the back to set up on. The table handles two divers at a time. The key to happiness is to stay in the cabin where it s warm and move to the table when there is an opening. There is plenty of time to get things organized while the crew gets the boat tied in. There were five divers yesterday a group of four that dive with each other a lot and me. I was the last one in the water and made a 30 minute dive. I shadowed the reel line of the other group (although I laid my own for practice and for safety). The reel was handy in that as I was taking my line in, the current pushed me out of visible range of the wreck (even though I tried to stay low and sheltered on the lee side) and so the line was my guide back. Love my reel! FCDA Member Ads Hey - have you got a non retail-diving business that you d like to share with fellow members of FCDA?
