City Diving: The Urban Divers at the New York Boat Show

The Urban Divers have always fascinated. Although I consider myself an aquatic person, and hold PADI certifications, the waters around New York have never fascinated the diver in me. Maybe I'm not cold-blooded enough, who knows. Nonetheless, I have always taken in interest in the Urban Divers' affairs, and now word comes, courtesy of the Brooklyn Heights Courier, that the Urban Divers will be come out to the New York Boat Show, which yours truly will be attending as well.

"The Urban Divers Estuary Conservancy will be wheeling its 48-foot traveling urban nature center and maritime museum called Enviromedia Mobile to the New York Boat Show.

The vehicle offers a host of exhibits meant to inspire discovery and learning about the urban estuary and watershed, as well as the chance to learn about diverse maritime heroes and history. Over the summer, the travelling museum touched down across the borough, from Bensonhurst to Red Hook as part of the celebration of the 400th anniversary of the Hudson River.

The Urban Divers, along with its youth urban marine explorers, will provides public activities in a hands-on way, teaching environmental investigation and scientific exploration."

The New York Boat Show is at the Javits Center, from January 20th - January 24th. For tickets, go to nyboatshow.com. See you there!
