Spectators cheer on their carving contenders.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cThis event has taken place each year for as long as the club has existed, which is more than 20 years,\u201d said Maj (ret\u2019d) Bissonnette.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">He noted that the club\u2019s size is fluid due to postings but it generally has from 15 to 25 members, both military and civilian, at any time. Club members take part in the annual contest free of charge at the Scotch Settlement Quarry near Oromocto, New Brunswick.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The 2018 event had 10 teams of two divers each, while six teams of divers took part in the carving contest in 2017. \u201cThe temperature was colder than last year but attendance was still great,\u201d said Maj (ret\u2019d) Bissonnette.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The day is always an enjoyable success, with a potluck meal and prizes for best carving and best costume.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Tankers Scuba Club is a recreational dive club located at 5th Canadian Division Support Base Gagetown. The club welcomes military families and members of the community of Oromocto. They primarily certify through American Canadian Underwater Certification (ACUC) and teach all levels of courses.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Base Gagetown\u2019s scuba club
