We are sad to announce that due to the lack of interest shown in joining our executive team this year, we are temporarily putting the Student Dive NL Club on hold.

However, in hopes of continuing this amazing club, we have opened a Google form for those of you who are interested in stepping into an executive position. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf8rOPYgAbDiIx3il9TiZToqJSipvf4F_BF3tsk1lwkfEcxvw/viewform?usp=sf_link

We hope that through this post we can get enough people willing to help keep this club going!

THE CAPELINS ARE ROLLIN'!!!

As you have probably seen or heard already, the capelins have arrived to Newfoundland's coasts!

If you are not aware, capelins are small silvery fish that are a FAVOURITE of whales in particular. As of now, there are schools of capelin swimming along the coast, so much so that they are ''rolling" by waves on the shore. It is an impressive event to witness, and it is even more fun to swim along with them in the water.

Hence, we are very excited to organize this specific event to try and experience the capelin rollin'. We will head to Torbay beach, in the hopes of meeting them there, on July 6th at 1 pm.

This is a snorkel event, but you are more than welcome to dive or hang on the beach!

If you are interested, please register using this Google form:
https://forms.gle/z5frdBURoTPWmVFu7

We are trying to organize a carpool to maximize participation, so if you have a car and you are willing to lift some other participants, please tell us through the form! And the same goes if you are in need of a lift to participate.

UPDATE:
Due to the fire ban currently in place, we will be rescheduling the beach bonfire that was scheduled for this Saturday. We hope to be able to offer this event again after the ban is lifted and it is safe to do so.
