Hello!

We’re reaching out with something special — an invitation to be part of the new relaunch of the Reef Squad at Reef2Reef.

You’ve been noticed for the way you consistently contribute to the community: encouraging others, sharing your knowledge, and helping make R2R the welcoming, generous place it is. That’s exactly the kind of presence the Reef Squad is all about — and we’d love for you to consider joining.

This isn’t just a recognition — it’s an opportunity. The relaunched Reef Squad is a team of trusted, servant-hearted members who help shape the daily life of our community by being consistently helpful, encouraging, and engaged. Whether that means welcoming new reefers, answering questions, starting great conversations, or simply showing up with positivity, Reef Squad members help make R2R a place people love to be.

Here’s the vision we’re building around:

The Reef Squad exists to welcome, inspire, and educate through consistent community engagement and high-quality reefing content. They’re servant leaders whose greatest reward is helping the reefing community thrive.
If that resonates with you, we’d love to invite you into this new season with us.

This would be a one-year commitment, with the opportunity to check in and renew each year. If your season changes, no worries — just let us know!

There’s no pressure to accept. If it’s not the right time or fit, we totally understand — and we still appreciate the way you’ve already helped the community grow. But if you are interested, just reply to this message and let us know. We’ll follow up soon with all the details and next steps.

Thanks for being the kind of member who makes Reef2Reef special — we hope you’ll consider joining the Reef Squad!


Excited to receive your response,

Daniel

You've already accepted, I suppose.

Edit:
Your Highness, excuse me for not offering my reverence when referring to you. Don't kick me out of R2R, that won't happen again 😉 🤣

OMG! (that's On my goat for you older reefers)
 
Good morning Tom! You will be in my thoughts today brother. As I've mentioned, if you need anything, don't hesitate to reach out.
 
Good morning everyone! Works been kicking my butt lately but hopefully today will be less busy and I will feel like being online more when I get home this evening. The last few days my brain has just been fried and my eyes too tired to look at a screen.
Morning Amanda!
