The Boston Sea Rovers, one of this country’s oldest and most prestigious dive clubs, have announced they will be sponsoring their historic 50th Annual Underwater Clinic on March 6th & 7th, 2004 at the Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel, St. James Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts. This year’s Golden Anniversary event is sure to uphold their time-honored tradition to “Raise the Level of Knowledge of the Underwater World”. Features of the Clinic include forty daytime seminars covering every aspect of scuba diving and the marine environment, a dozen detailed workshops on advanced diving techniques, a world class evening film festival, and, with over sixty booths, the largest display of dive equipment and services in New England for the year. Tickets for the evening show are $20 per person, as are tickets for the Clinic Saturday, that includes exhibit displays and the diverse programs offered. On Sunday, admission is $15, children under 12 are free, and admission for students with valid ID and Senior Citizens is only $10. Daytime events run from 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM on Saturday, March 6, and 9:30 AM - 4:00 PM on Sunday, March 7th.
The spectacular Saturday Evening Film Festival, one of the most prestigious in the underwater world, is host this year to world premiers from some of the most recognized names in the business. This year we’re proud to feature as Master of Ceremonies, famed oceanographer Dr. Robert Ballard. Other speakers include Deep Sea Explorer Emory Kristof, and National Geographic photographer Brian Skerry, with many more surprises in store for a show that will span the fifty decades of ground-breaking Sea Rover’s history. The Saturday Evening Film Festival runs from 8:00 PM to 10:30 PM, and will be held at the John Hancock Hall, two blocks from the hotel.
The Sea Rovers are a not-for-profit, volunteer organization dedicated to increasing the awareness and appreciation of the marine environment. A portion of proceeds benefits scholarships, and SeaMark, an organization dedicated to helping children with disabilities.
