BGDC members,

Unfortunately the board has decided not to offer a May 2024 trip to Dominica this year. There were multiple factors leading to this decision and I apologize for getting everyone’s hopes up. This Dominica trip is not canceled, but instead is being postponed to allow for ample time to plan and obtain reliable and lower cost flight itineraries. My hope is to have trips planned for next spring prior to executive board elections (November 2024) so that we do not end up with this same problem next year.

Look for this trip to show up for February 2025. If you have a specific week that is better for you, let me know at TripDirector@BluegrassDiveClub.com or with the Contact Us page.

Thank you being patient with me as I learn this Trip Director role,
Natasha Bowers

Our program will be
a participatory trip down memory lane. We will show a list of the club’s dive trips throughout the years and pause for members to offer a fond memory of the trip or the divers who went. This should truly be a great opportunity to ask the questions about where we would like to visit again or maybe a new location for an upcoming trip.
