The live video feed is great - thank you for all of your hard work towards a great cause! Maybe next year we'll be able to make it out to the other coast to join in the fun.
My dives are in memory of Jennifer Coyne, RN 1982 - 2007

This was my first year and first experience with DATC. I somehow always ended up out of the country prior years.

And I have to say this was an absolute blast!!

The organizers of this event sure know how to run logistics and make things easy!

The best of the whole event for me was to have a bunch of friends and dive buddies out there and BBQ burgers and do dives at midnight and simply just have a butt load of fun.

THANK you to everyone who put this together, its an awesome event for a GREAT cause!! And how amazing was Eric Vetter's record setting dive of over 6 hours!! Well done to Tacoma Scuba and Eric!!

You will see us return next year in greater numbers!!

So on behalf of the entire GUE Seattle crew, I want to say THANK YOU and CONGRATULATIONS on a very successfull event!

I went! I had to represent DiiR!!
Does all black gear really provide a more streamlined dive rig?...... I Think Not!!! Go DiiR (Do it in Red)!!
