About the Catalina Gold Star Dive Register to Participate in the Event |
About:
The Gold Star Dive has been in operation since 1997. The event is a non-profit program. It was established as a means to help support the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Avalon S.T.A.R. Program (Success Through Awareness and Resistance) and the Catalina Hyperbaric Chamber. The event is hosted by the Avalon Sheriff's station. The Gold Star Dive is held each year in July at Catalina's Casino Point Underwater Park adjacent to the famous landmark Casino. The day is filled with fun. First, there's the actual Gold Star Dive event in the morning, followed by lunch where world famous "Ballast Burgers" and "Diver Dogs" are served. In the afternoon attention is drawn to Wrigley Plaza near Avalon Bay. Here, the Gold Star Dive Official Raffle is held. Participants, event supporters and the town of Avalon gather around to see if they have one of many winning tickets. The evening is enchanted by fun-loving divers and supporters of this great cause. Prizes are given away for those who participate and find one of over 100 Gold Stars that have been planted in the Casino Point Underwater Park. All participants receive a Commemorative T-Shirt, a solid Chocolate Star and a goodie bag containing a free raffle ticket. Not to be left out, non-divers are encouraged to purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win a topside prize. Fun is had by all - Join the Hunt! |
