TRIPS
We have 2 groups headed out on dive trips this week.
Wilmington trip for 3 day weekend of shark’s teeth diving.
AND, 61 divers headed to BONAIRE to spend a week in “Diver’s Paradise”
Sorry you missed this trip, but check our trips page, we have 2 more great trips coming up later this year and Jan 2009.
CURACAO Oct 11 – 18
We have plenty of room available for this trip. Curacao has been a hidden Caribbean secret for years, the diving is as good as Bonaire and there are tons of topside activities for divers and non-divers.
Lions Dive Resort has a great beach and the resort is located next to the Sea Aquarium Park and Dolphin Academy (Free entrance to both).
Breezes Super Club & Spa and Mambo Beach Club resorts are right next door which has casinos and even more beaches to explore. 2 Restaurants on site and the town of Wilhemsted is only a 10 minute shuttle ride for great shopping and eateries.

TURKS & CAICOS Jan 17 – 24, 2009
Dive with us thru Turks & Caicos as we explore Providenciales, West Caicos and French Cay with the Caribbean Explorer II Live-aboard dive vessel. Up to 5 dives daily, all meals snacks, drinks tanks and weights included. This is the easiest diving you can do, everything is less than 50 feet from your room. Check out the boat and amenities at
www.explorerventures.com click on the Turks and Caicos link.
This trip is starting to fill up already. Only a few spots left.
New trips not on the schedule yet.
Myrtle Beach Wreck dives in August or September
Florida Keys reefs and wrecks in late November or early December
Details will be out in July.

NEW GEAR
We have recently brought in the line of Bonica Digital Cameras to add to our Sea & Sea and Sea Life Brands. We are stocking the Snapper Sport Package which comes with a 5MP camera, underwater housing, digital strobe and strobe arm all for under $600.
Aqua Lung has introduced a new regulator that we are now stocking, the Micron. It is extremely small and lightweight and comes in the standard regulator color AND a vanilla/pink color for the ladies. This is a GREAT travel regulator since all the airlines are cutting down on bag sizes and weight limits.
