Besides diving, O.E. has been very actively interested in many ocean-related causes. Co-president Alex Budge noted that being in an organization helps people mobilize on issues that affect their lives or pastimes. Its been great being able to get involved with other clubs and groups with similar interests. Though so far O.E. has concentrated primarily on scuba diving, Dodson emphasizes that the club offers much more. This fall, O.E. intends to extend its activities, organizing some group dives in addition to the workshops.
Meetings take place every other week starting in fall.
