Dear LiquidAssets.tv Divers,

As you all know by now Hurricane Ike played havoc on our playground. Luckily Provo fared OK and we did move the boat to the Dominican Republic for safety, it is due back to the Turks & Caicos mid-week. As long as the airport is open (no word yet) we will be back on track for Weeks #2, 3 and 4. My guess is that it is already open and we are doing research now.

We here at LiquidAssets.tv along with our sponsors have come up with a plan to help a great dive destination that is in need. We are all going to be there enjoying the diving and we want to give back, we hope after realizing our plan and goal that you feel the same. I have ordered 60 t-shirts with Turks & Caicos/Hurricane Ike Clean Up Crew on them and we want to ask for your help. On the normal itinerary we make two dives on Friday before returning to port; our plan is to bypass those dives and return to port after the night dive Thursday night and wake up Friday morning and hit the island to help clean up. We as divers and human beings have a responsibility to help maintain a great dive destination for generations to come and we have a golden opportunity. We will have the film crew helping on the clean up and filming it as well.

I have received approval from the Publisher of Scuba Diving Magazine to put the cleanup effort video on Scuba Diving TV to show divers that the Turks & Caicos wants and is getting ready for business and diving as usual. We will also put this on our site, YouTube and other media outlets to help promote tourism back to this great destination. You will need to bring a pair of gloves and some shoes that you don’t mind ruining and we will provide the clean up T-shirts for you all.

I know this is your holiday but we are only asking you to forgo two dives to help us help the people of the Turks & Caicos islands. Please let me know if you are want to be a part of this by the end of the day if possible. If everyone does not agree to forgo those dives we will have to make some dive plans for you but I truly hope we all do what we can to get these islands back on track. We are already there, let’s be a good ambassador for humanity and our country, we can help!

Sincerely,
Randy Harris
