Dive Charities

Post by Sockmonkey »

On an unfortunate related note... does anyone have a favorite scuba related charity that one might donate to in someone's name?

DAN? Scubatrust?

To say the least SUDS is an incredible charity. I'm glad to be reminded of it.

However my wife reminded me that Jake was a leukemia survivor (and a survivor of a few other things too). I'm wondering if The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society might be more appropriate.
