August 15 Newsletter

Mark your calendars: at 8 PM on September 4, 2008 we will have a presentation on our 2008/2009 Dive Trips. We will show videos on North Carolina, Key Largo, our Nekton St Croix trip, Straits of mackinaw – the [place not the ship -Bonne Terre, Gilboa and much more.

If there is a trip you always wanted to do but did want to go alone let us know and we will try and put together a group trip.

Congratulations to our newest Open Water Divers Leslie Armstrong, Jeff Jensen, Suchi Patel, Surrender Sara, Andre Lareau, Mike Skonie, Jim and Jordan Habel, Donna and Dwight Priest, and Mike Wallenberg.

We have eight of our 5 spots on the Nekton trip to St. Croix committed. To get our special $600 off pricing you must reserve by close of business Monday. We can reserve additional; spots but it will be an additional $300 for the spots after ten. There is no reservation without a deposit.

Everyone who has been on our North Carolina trip has seen the influx of Lionfish that is happening in the Atlantic. I posted an Associated Press article on our blog about this foreign species invasion. According to the article they came from a fish tank damaged by a hurricane.

Do not forget our Open Pool Monday August 18, 2008. You must sign up in advance. The cost is $10 per person and we will supply any equipment you need.

There will be a clean up dive at Burnham Harbor on September 20, 2008.

On October 2 through 5 we will return to dive North Carolina. Click here for details.

We are looking to do a special buy on 80 CF SCUBA Tanks in September. If we get ten buyers we can offer them for only $250. Call us or email us to reserve one. For a neat video on how a tank is made visit or Tank Site.

Look for a special offer in September to get a free Uwatec computer with your dive gear purchase.

We will hold a Digital Photography Specialty class on September 21, 24 and 28. Call the Dive Center to register.
