Check out the Clubs Facebook Page | History of the Club The Caloosa Dive Club was started in 1970 by a small group of locals that enjoyed diving and spearfishing. At that time, many members owned their own boats and would meet on weekends and raft their boats together and go diving. In those days, the club was small and meetings were held in smaller venues. Club NewsJoin us for an exciting presentation from multiple-award-winning author and lecturer Robert N. Macomber for a riveting look at the history-making May 1943 battle between a marauding Nazi U-boat and the very brave crew of a Cuban Navy 83-ft ex-USCG wooden patrol boat. Also, Mr. Macomber's 17th, newest and final book, FULL NAVAL HONORS, will be available for purchase and signing.
I finally have the 2022 Photo Contest photos posted to a web album. You can take a look here:
