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.

Prizes are donated by SCUBAPRO, SCUBA Diving International (SDI), Divers Alert Network, Innovative SCUBA Products, Trident, and Extreme Sports SCUBA.
