This is shaping up to be a busy week. Come out and join us for some fun.
***
Tuesday night is the Drysuit Seminar. This is open to everyone interested in learning more about drysuits. Bruce Justinen of Sea Soft will be here to discuss the history of drysuits, different styles and materials available, proper fit and the benefits of diving dry.
Seminar starts at 6:30pm and refreshments will be served.
***
Wednesday night we have our first “Intro to Tech” course. This is a great course to learn about the skills and equipment needed to become a “Technical” diver or maybe you just want to learn how to perfect your buoyancy skills, either way the Intro course is a great learning experience. As an added bonus each diver will get the chance to try out diving with double tanks during the course.
Wednesday night is classroom work from 7pm – 10pm
Saturday is diving from 9am until we are finished.
***
Thursday night Kristi Draper will be teaching the FISH ID Course. Learn how to identify all the fish you saw on that last reef dive and impress your dive buddies with your new knowledge. Special course fee of $39 includes the R.E.E.F Starter ID Kit along with Pizza & drinks provided.
The next Fish ID course is set for Dec 18.
