Bahamas Racked by Hurricane Frances
           As we hear in the news about the devastation of Florida, please keep in mind that the Bahamas have also felt the brunt of the storm and one of the most devastated islands is Grand Bahama, where many of our friends and fellow SeaDevils are.  Many of us also have friends in other islands affected including Abaco, Exuma, Inagua and the Turks and Caicos.     <more info>
SeaDevil Divers: Not Just a Dive Club
    What does it mean to be a SeaDevil Diver?  Certainly it is a point of pride, a worthy organization of our friends and fellow divers.  SeaDevil club meetings and outings offer us a place to socialize, to learn new things, to meet new people who share our love of the Ocean.  SeaDevil Divers are more than just that; they are doctors and lawyers, artists and educators, students, adults, teens, kids,  and most of all, citizens of this community.   With such a vastly diverse membership, SeaDevil Divers is looking into itself and asking what more can we do? How can we give back to this community?             <read article>

Having removed his shoes, the artist seated himself cross-legged in the middle of the canvas, inviting the timid children to join him.  One intrepid young artist kicked off her shoes and without a word selected her crayons from a large tin. Plopping down beside the friendly looking man who was busy creating a dolphin, she began to draw.           <more info>

Flying Sharks: Powerful Hunter of False Bay
      You may have heard of flying squirrels. But have you ever heard of a flying shark? Off the coast of Cape Town, in South Africa, great white sharks nearly fly—leaping as high as ten feet (three meters) in the air.   <compete story>
