It’s that time of year again… No, I’m not talking about Father’s Day, although don’t forget that June 17, 2018, is Father’s Day. This time though I’m talking about The Annual Safari Hunt!
Yes, it’s time for the Annual Safari Hunt. Make sure your calendars are marked for June 23, 2018.

So… what exactly is the Safari Hunt?
You and your dive buddy go SCUBA hunting for animals no deeper than 30 feet. Once you find an animal, you come up and register your number. Then you win a prize.
