    Default Welcome to Dive Matrix!

    Several of our members are / have volunteered at the chamber over the years. I've been there on Chamber Day probably half-a-dozen times now and I know several diving friends who have been there for treatment over the years.

    I couldn't be more pleased of the work you guys do. I'm very glad you're here.

    Welcome.

    Hi, Karl. It was a great event Wednesday night and it was great to meet you. Let me refresh your memory, we were standing in front of the aquarium you placed a call to Tom at the Chamber and handed your cell phone to me.

    My parting words to you were, Good bye, troublemaker.

    Karl, great news on the final tally for the event. Happy to have contributed in a very small way. However, I hope I never need your life saving services there at the other end of the island!
