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!!

Headed South

Joe and I will fly to Orlando, FL tomorrow afternoon for the only international trade only event for the scuba diving, water sports, and adventure travel industries, the DEMA Show. DEMA is run by the DEMA organization(Diving Equipment & Marketing Association). With predictions of 11,000+ industry professionals meeting this year it's sure to be a good time. Joe and I will be joined by Tom later in the week to take several classes on gear repair and servicing, tank inspections, seminars on new and upcoming products offered by manufacturers from around the world. We hope to learn alot, meet some great people, and bring back some exciting information and maybe products! See you when we get back!
