The Aquatic Safari Hunt May 7th
This Saturday May 7th at 9am, come satisfy your need for underwater adventure. The Safari Hunt is like an underwater Easter egg hunt on a shipwreck. Divers hit the water to search for numbered tokens that are hidden on the 400? Liberty Ship wreck. On average we have 80-100 people signup for this exciting event. After the dive, everyone will head back to the Bridge Tender Marina where free hot-dogs, chips and drinks are served.
Then, we begin to call out numbers. When the number is called that matches one of your tokens, you come up and draw a prize from the hat. At the end of calling out all the token numbers, people who didn’t get a token put their names in a hat to draw the remaining prizes. Around 120 tokens will be hidden and over $4000.00 in prizes will be given away, usually including a Regulator, BC, Dive Computer, Riffe and AB Biller Spear guns, and tons more (prizes are dependent on what our generous vendors give us).
Everyone who participates gets a Safari Hunt T-shirt and a chance to win prizes. Entry is $15 up to May 4th and $20 if paid between May 5-6th. Sign up at Aquatic Safaris.
Call (910) 392-4386 for more information.
