Tuesday, April 8 2025: A Look Becca Boring: Dive travel gone sideways
Becca Boring of Backscatter fame will be presenting a tale of dive travel that proved to be a little … extra. Come out (virtually) on Tuesday April 8 at 7pm to hear all about it
After a spectacular trip to one of world’s best wreck diving destinations - Bikini Atoll, Super Typhoon Mawar left an already travel weary group of divers stranded for ten days on one of the most densely populated and least visited places on earth. Ebeye Island, with no tourism infrastructure and little infrastructure in general offered more than we could have imagined in the way of lessons we’ll all carry with us on future remote travel.
Becca Boring
Raised on wreck diving and photography, Becca has been the Operations Manager of Backscatter Underwater Video & Photo for over a decade. She is passionate about documenting and helping others capture the beauty of the underwater world and has a particular fondness for the shipwrecks of the Pacific and regularly leads diving expeditions to that area of the world.
April Minicomp Voting
Since we didn’t have a meeting last month, we’ll do the minicomps for March and April at the meeting on April 8.
March’s theme is “Eyes”.
April’s theme is “Super Macro”.
Please upload by Tuesday noon to avoid the last minute rush and help to keep the minicomp wrangler's blood pressure down! Please name your files like this 03YourName.jpg.
Meeting
Meeting starts TUESDAY at 7pm (Pacific Time!). But I strongly urge you to arrive by around 6:45 to make sure there are no zoom difficulties.
