Every year (and admittedly we're not always good about publicizing this) we have a special Blind Bid auction on-line. There are two actually, one a few days prior to Chamber Day and one that's active on Chamber Day only. The pre-Chamber Day 2014 one is active and accepting bids.

Please note that the items listed come as a package, not as individual items. So there will be ONE winner who gets ALL of what's listed. Here's what you'll get if you're the high bidder:

Tusa - Mask, Fin & Snorkel Combo Box ($199)
PADI - PADI Backpack ($59)
NBDHMT - DMT Diver Field Guide ($59)
Aquarium of the Pacific - Aquarium Guest Pass (2 @ $26ea = $52)
Oceanic - Scorpion Knife ($37)
Rescue Tape / Harbor Products - Rescue Tape roll ($10)
Franko Maps, Ltd. - Channel Island Folded Map ($8) & Channel Island Fish Card ($6)
Just Add Water Solutions (JAWS) - Slosh Travel Wetsuit Cleaner ($3)

The entire package is valued at $433. The minimum bid is $100. Bidding for the package started on Thursday, May 1st at 9AM and will end at 11:59PM on Tuesday May 6th. Since you do not know what others have bid, remember to make your best bid. The winner will be notified at the start of Chamber Day (prior to 9AM on May 7th - we'll post it on the website as well).
