We went to SPE Scuba Soiree at The Huxley to celebrate the re-launch of the 42-year-old scuba school's website.

The networking event brought together people who were experienced divers with people who wanted to try. We snapped school owner Mike Parker surrounded by the Indonesian Embassy's Zelda Kartika, the Latvian Embassy's Vineta Mekone and by the Romanian Embassy's Lavinia Ochea and Gabriel Sopanda.

SPE is the largest recreational diving school in the US; they trained 1,500 divers last year. Guests sipped champagne while they reconnected with old friends and met new ones. Here, Fit 4 Par's Brian Henn and his wife Level Fitness' Adriane Morgan-Henn are with teacher Regina Fischer-Pils and her husband, the Austrian Embassy’s Heinz Fischer.

Swag bags were filled with fun items like scuba shirts and specialty coffee. Here, photographer Chris Ley and Greg's List's Greg O'Neill.
