Join the GLA!
	Even though we are a Michigan based dive club, you don't have to reside in Michigan to be a member. We have members in Wyoming, Arizona and Illinois. We even have a member in Canada. If you can't attend meetings, that's ok too, we also have a monthly newsletter, The Flipper, which is sent or emailed to all members. All vital information is posted there and on our new revamped website! Plus our board members are always around to answer questions and help in any way they can. Click on the buoy below to download a current list of board members and how they can be contacted.
Dues: $30.00 per person or family (residing at the same address) This includes 12 issues of The Flipper, and a well stocked first aid kit (including o2) at all dives. Plus all the dive buddies you could want! Download Application Here
New members will recieve a club membership card and a membership packet containing the club constitution and a variety of dive related materials. Plus if you are able to attend meetings, each month we have a new program with guest speakers and presentations including Michigan dives and lots of warm water destinations.	The Benefits of being a member of the GLA don't stop there. We also have a large library of diving related books, brochures, videos and pamphlets. All of these are available for free loan to members. Inquire at the next meeting for a list of available materials. And one of the most basic advantages of belonging to the GLA is a constant buddy system. Our members are very knowledgable in their sport and eager to participate and pass their knowledge along. Come to a meeting and find out for yourself!
