They are one of the oldest and most distinguished underwater clubs in America, and have a worldwide reputation of excellence. While the membership has changed repeatedly over the years, they still hold true to a pledge that was inspired in 1954, and remain dedicated to “Raising the Level of Knowledge of the Underwater World”. In order to achieve this lofty goal, the early members of the club designed and invented the first underwater film show available to the general public. They called that first production a Clinic, and have held the event every year since. Click here to view the video on DiveShow.tv.
