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!

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

Coming soon to a TV near you! The Dive Equipment Marketing Association organization will be launching a national ad campaign in 2008 aimed at getting new divers. This is the 30 second TV ad that will be shown across the nation. There are also going to be newspaper, radio, and magazine ads. The website featured in the ad "beadiver.com" isn't up yet, but will feature a "find your local dive shop" zip code search function.



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!!
