CHARTER DIVES:
  • Meeting Place - The day of the dive, the club typically meets as a group at a parking lot in Belleville, and car pools are arranged as needed. The group then drives to the charter boat departure point. For extact location of the Belleville meeting spot, and time to meet, contact Gilbert or Tom. Of course, you're welcome to go ahead and drive to the charter boat departure location on your own, but don't be late! As well, some charter boat departure areas (such as Deb Ring's house bear Brockville) have limited parking, so you are encouraged to car pool.
    Remember....Don't be late...the group won't wait!
