*SCAM ALERT*
It appears that some of you have received an e-mail from the “United Dive Club/Rick Levy, President United Dive Club”, asking you to purchase some sort of gift cards and forwarded them to some obscure e-mail address, it’s not from me or the dive club! Please do not respond to this scam. If you have any questions on any e-mails from the dive club, e-mail us or call us.
___________________________________________________________
Welcome to the United Dive Club! The dive club was started for United Airlines employees and there families to get together and enjoy scuba diving. The club organizes various dive trips and events throughout the year for the enjoyment of our members. There is no cost for membership in the dive club.
Why are we here and what do we do? Our purpose is to promote and provide diving to employees of United and an opportunity to learn to dive, find new dive buddies, share information, find discounts, and find great places to dive.
Do I need to be a certified diver to join? We do not require that you are certified to join. However, diving can be a hazardous sport and we do require all members who dive with us to be certified through a recognized agency. The club has our own "in-house" dive instructors that can teach you to scuba dive.
*** HAVEN"T BEEN RECEIVING ANY E-MAILS FROM THE DIVE CLUB? ***
I noticed a higher than normal reject/bounced e-mails from this latest blast mail. They seem to mostly be e-mail addresses with a "XXX@coair.com". I'm guessing that the company has started to discontinue forwarding the "coair.com" addresses. So if you have not been receiving our blast mails, this could be the issue. Update us with a new e-mail address (include the old one so I know what to eliminate)

HOT ITEMS
COVID RECOMMENDATION FOR DIVE CLUB TRIPS
The United Dive Club, in association with United Airlines COVID policy regarding vaccine requirements, highly suggests that all persons that attend a dive club trip/function should be vaccinated.
Club dive trips/activities are arranged with the assumption that you are vaccinated.
Various (most) destinations that the club trips venture to require one to be vaccinated. So, if you are not vaccinated, you may not be able to attend a trip.
Thanks for understanding and keeping your fellow dive club members safe.

GOING ON THE CZM TRIP?
We expect a pretty large crowd on this trip to CZM, so...
* If you can get on a non-stop to CUN, I suggest do it,
- Alternative way to CZM: Get to CUN, take bus that runs from CUN airport to Playa Del Carmen, The bus can be found to the right when you walk out of the terminal, should be a "redish" colored bus. They leave CUN about every 20 minutes. (about $14.00 (est), about 40 minutes-nice Greyhound type bus). This drops you off around the corner from the Ferry to CZM. Take Ferry, $14.00 one way (est), about 40 minutes. Take cab to hotel (about $8.00 est).
(these prices may have changed) Very easy to do.
* Going on the whale shark adventure? Bring cash to the meeting to pay for it.
* Bring Hippie/Woodstock party decorations for decorating the party area.
* Bring patience.
BE AT THE RESTAURANT AT 7:00 FOR WELCOME MEETING SATURDAY NIGHT.
