19: 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Dive with the Naturalist Jerry Ligon to learn the basic and advanced levels of fish identification in an academic presentation, and then go on a guided dive to the Number One Reef in the entire Caribbean for fish diversity. It is a one-half day basic course to present you with the techniques to employ, to learn to develop search patterns in the ocean that everyone must know in order to find the cryptic organisms, and then, how to identify them. Many examples of fish behavior that we see all the time, but never knew what the creature is doing, are also described and shown. Jerry Ligon's famous 1/2 day course is only $ 40. (+5% sales tax). |

| Sep 3 | Local Fishing Tournament | |
| TBA | Join naturalist Jerry Ligon on a coral spawning night dive. Coral spawning is a spectacular event rarely viewed by divers who hope they have seen everything. It occurs during the night, usually one or two nights a year and one has to be in the right place on the reef and be on time. It does not wait for any human intervention to proceed. Full moon will be September 7th and the spawning will happen within 5 to 8 days after full moon. Read more about coral spawning. | |
