New Year's Day Cold Plunge

KICK OFF THE NEW YEAR WITH A BANG!

The New Year’s Day Cold Plunge is an annual Extreme Sports Scuba event designed to challenge your ability to handle the chilly January weather and start the new year off fresh.

If you do not have someone to dive with, let us know, and we will pair you with another participating diver who also needs a buddy.

Each diver can take a picture with the “I survived the cold plunge” sign!
