Local branch of Veterans Adventure Group plans day of Scuba for Veterans

A local branch of the Veterans Adventure Group is inviting Veterans to sign-up for a day of scuba diving.

According to Benjamin Stanfield, on Saturday, December 12, the group will meet at The Dive Shop on McEver, in Gainesville, for a day of Discover SCUBA diving, food, door prizes, and a guest speaker from Divers Alert Network.

The Dive Shop on McEver is located at 3560 McEver Road, Ste D, in Gainesville.

Participants are asked to arrive by 9 a.m.

Stanfield says the Veterans Adventure Group was created as a way to offer veterans extreme adventures to build extreme bonds.

Stanfield says the event is free for Veterans and a plus one.

He says this is a family friendly event and children as young as 10 may join them in the pool, pending certain caveats; however, due to limited space, he asks that you register in advance.

All in-water participants will have to complete a medical form in order to join in the fun.

Stanfield says the only expense you’ll have is a $5 meal ticket for lunch.

Again, he stresses that to get in the water you must register in advance.
