SoCal Divers: Participate In This Year’s Chamber Day and Eve 2009

The largest scuba charity event in the United States, Chamber Day, is once again being held this year on May 6th to benefit the Catalina Hyperbaric Chamber. The celebration kicks off with a full day of diving, and a tour of the actual chamber.  The activities will lead up to the Chamber Eve dinner fundraiser, to be held at the Aquarium of the Pacific. The Catalina Hyperbaric Chamber has been serving divers in the are for 35 years on a round-the-clock basis. Though it receives some funding from the local government, it is mostly dependent on donations, with Chamber Day activities raising almost 50% of the annual budget.

Attending the event will cost $120 for 2 dives and includes food, tank refills, a t-shirt, 5 raffle tickets and a tour of the facilities. Chamber Eve tickets cost $90 and includeds dinner, 5 raffle tickets and a tour of the aquarium. Various other fund-raising activities are planned, and 100% of the proceeds will go to maintaining and running the chamber. For more information, visit the Chamber Day Website.
