It gives me great pleasure to introduce two new members of our Bonnier Dive Group team. This past week we welcomed David Espinosa as the Senior Editor for Scuba Diving and the Undersea Journal, and Patricia Wuest in the multi–faceted role of Managing Editor for Sport Diver, Scuba Diving and the Undersea Journal. David brings strong editorial creativity, vision and skills, as well as a comprehensive global knowledge of the dive world, after several years at the helm of Scuba Diver AustralAsia, and on the edit team for Asian Diver. Like David, Patricia brings a strong breadth and depth of diving and dive magazine knowledge to our group after 16 years of working at Scuba Diving magazine under the previous owners. We're thrilled to have such seasoned pros on our staff as we continue to elevate the quality of our media products across all platforms. Please join me in welcoming them to our unparalleled and passionate team of dive media professionals.

The Curaçao Hidden Treasure campaign sent participants on a two–day, island–wide hunt through the historic capital and across the sandy beaches in search of medallions that were later exchanged for keys. One of these keys opened a treasure chest worth $500,000.

The lucky key holder? Mother of four, Michelle Salge of San Jose, California. Salge is among ten North Americans who won a chance to participate in Curaçao's island adventure through the CTB's online sweepstakes.

It's no surprise that Body Glove's boat is named the Disappearance as it's often seen missing from its slip in the Redondo Beach Harbor in Southern California. Most times you'll spot this vessel captained by Bob Meistrell or wife Patty, and often with Scuba Diving magazine's ScubaLab testers in tow. As Co–Founder of Body Glove Wetsuits (along with his brother Bill who passed away in July 2006), he's been a surfer, a lifeguard, but most of all, a diver for many years.

Post dive celebrations were held at Dive N' Surf dive shop with family members, close friends and fellow divers in attendance. A Redondo Beach City Council Member presented Bob with a Certificate of Achievement on behalf of the Mayor, and Bob proudly accepted his award with a speech stating: "Today I did two dives, one for me, and one for my brother."
