Well, my CompuMask got wet this weekend! I went to the pool with my loving father to try out my new mask as well as the Omega Flip Fins. We spent some time swimming around and then traded gear so we could both experience the new "toys" first hand. Check out the pictures below...

Me and the new mask. I kind of feel like saying "Luke, I am your sister."

Tom with the flip fins on and his Omega shirt!

Tom checking what time it is. He must have a hot date or something!

Tom testing out the new fins. They really move!

Now those are some knees! And some sweet fins in the up position for ladder climbing.

We love the CompuMask. The display works great and it's always right there. You never have the excuse that you didn't know how much air you have when you run out! I have to say as this was the first time that I've ever worn a mask with a black skirt, I think I like it better than a clear skirt. I can't wait to use the mask on a real dive.
The fins are amazing as well. The ability to essentially not even worry about your fins is great! You just put them on, put the rest of your gear on, get in the water and start kicking! Then with two quick clicks the fins are out of the way and you can get out of the water with ease! I wish I thought of it first!

Kapitol Reef Snorkels are here!

Our Kapitol Reef Snorkels came in today! They look great and we can't wait to try them out. Stop in to check one out!
Don't know how a Kapitol Reef Snorkel works? Check out this animation to learn all about it.

Here are some of the benefits that set these snorkels apart from others in the industry:

• Regulates Exhalation Pressure
• Maintains lung volumes
• Separates inhaled air from exhaled carbon dioxide
• Stays amazingly dry
• Reduces snorkel panic
• Perfect for all experience levels and ages

The Snorkels were featured in Sport Diver Magazine and received it's highest gear guide award!

More New Divers!!

Congrats to Shawna, Mike, and Jim!! Our newest Open Water Divers! These three braved the 49 degree water to finish their certifications last weekend with Rob. Hopefully we will see them in another class soon. Hopefully not diving in the cold water any more this year though!!

My Aussie Adventures Featured on UQ's Website

While I was in Australia many of you were reading my blog about my adventures. While I was there I was contacted about having my blog on the Centre for Marine Studies website to show potential students how much fun their Australia's Marine Environment course really is. I said yes and forwarded along some pictures with my blog entries. The final adjustments and edits have been made and both my Lady Elliot Island and North Stradbroke Island entries are on their website. They are slightly different than my original entires, but the important parts are all there.

Be A Diver

Are you ready to be a diver?

We're BACK!!

Well, we are back from DEMA and we still have all our fingers and toes! We had a great time and learned ALOT!


Joe and Tom got certified to service and repair TUSA regulators and SpareAIR. Joe is now officially able to service OceanReef full face masks. Joe and I are now Mares Master Lab certified, and all of us are PSI/PCI Visual Tank Inspectors. We also learned about MANY new products and collected some t-shirts, pens, and keychains along the way.

As you can see from our shirts we all like to have fun. The shirts were a hit and everyone knew we were together!
We will be getting in some new products soon that we checked out and ordered while we were there. Check back or stop in to see the new stuff!
Oh and just to add to it, while Joe and I were trapped in class from 8am-7pm Tom went to a seminar at the last minute and entered a drawing. Little did he know that he'd win the grand prize... 7 nights, all dives, breakfast and dinner in St. Lucia at Anse Chastenet Resort! Congrats to Tom!!
