Did you dive or snorkel on Blue Friday?

I got wet in my dive shop's pool. Better than nothing!

A few weeks ago, I wrote this blog about Blue Friday: https://www.divepacific.co.nz/post/don-t-shop-dive

Now, I'm gathering feedback from around the world with my friends, dive buddies, dive shops, liveaboards, and resorts.

If you got wet last Friday in particular, or anytime during the week of 24 November, please post your photos or videos to my dive club's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/marin.scuba.club

Thanks so much!

I was PADI-certified as an Open Diver in 1985 in a reservoir south of Dallas, TX, USA. After a few bone-chilling experiences in Northern California, I have dived exclusively in warm water ever since then in Australia, Micronesia (Palau and Kosrae), four of the Hawaiian Islands, Mexico, and throughout the Caribbean.
