Bay State Council of Divers

 
 

On Sunday, September 17. 2017, the Bay State Council of Divers had their 32nd annual treasure hunt at Stage Fort Park, Gloucester, MA.  The temperature was mild and the fog was very thick at the start of the scuba dive but by the time the team snorkel event was held it cleared up.


Scuba Event


We had 45 divers enter the water for the scuba competition.  It was also gratifying to have several newly certified divers join us for the competition and we hope they will come back next year. Our first prize winner was Jake Stout, who has been recently certified to dive and attended the event with his parents.  Second prize went to Jack Valleli and third to Jack Mumo.  Congratulations to all three of our scuba treasure hunt winners.
