For those affected by Hurricane Sandy and the many other tropical storms, we send our continued thoughts and...
Incoming Mail: May 2013
Hi,
For the longest time, I wanted to use my scuba talents to help others. I found a spark of inspiration and decided to help disabled veterans with my friend Keith Cormican. In late March, Keith, our friends, and I helped disabled vets find therapy with scuba diving at the Belvidere YMCA in Illinois.

See Dive Push-On Lenses
The name says it all, take a SS Dive soft lens and place it on a desired spot on the inside of a mask after rinsing both in warm water. Wait 24hours, and then go diving. It works as a reading lens for gauges and cameras. There are 9 available powers from +1.00 to +4.00. Want to move the See Dive lens to another mask or read with your sunglasses?
