Hi Club Members & Guests,

I hope the diving has been great for you all over the past 4 weeks. The September Club meeting is our Annual General Meeting starting early at 7:30pm.

Our Guest speaker is Brandi Mueller joining us at 8pm.

Brandi is a photographer and writer aiming todocument and  share the beauty of our planet, particularly the underwater realm. She is an obsessive traveler who has been to more than 70 countries and dived over half of them.  Checkout www.brandiunderwater.com

Working as a dive instructor and boat captain she has been lucky to live and work in places such as Hawaii, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Papua New Guinea, Dominican Republic, Turks and Caicos, and more.   

Brandi has two books: Underwater Museums and The Airplane Graveyard. She has been published in many books, magazines and online content including National Geographic and Lonely Planet. She is a regular contributor to DivePhotoGuide and X-Ray Magazine. Her work has also appeared in Scuba Diving, Smithsonian Air and Space, Asian Diver, Scuba Diver Australasia, GUE Quest, CRED Journal, Dive Advisor, in Lonely Planet books and magazines, newspapers and online on Mashable, MSN, Telegraph, The Blaze, Life Daily, AOL, Unilad, and ABC News, to name a few. She loves sharing her travels and adventures in hopes they will inspire others to take up diving or become more aware of the ocean environment.

Following the AGM presentation will be the photo competition, events, news and travel.
