Scuba Shack Weekly – Volume 2, Number 2

Well you know it is January when the NFL playoffs start. My Philadelphia Eagles made it in and made it out of Chicago. Now St. Nick will be taking on the Saints this Sunday in New Orleans.

Our training has started for the year. We’ve already gotten in our first pool session with a Scuba Review this week and we are only a couple of weeks away from our first weekend open water class. We will also be conducting a Nitrox class on January 19. There is still time to sign up and get this critical certification under your belt. Our training calendar is up-to-date, check it out. The service department is very busy with regulators, full-face masks and quite a few tanks.

Last week I introduced the Project Aware Specialty course in February. For anyone who is interested in just what Project Aware accomplished in 2018, here is a link to a short video. We can make a difference!

The latest edition of Alert Diver Magazine has an article written by Ethan Gordon about diving in Lake Champlain. Ethan is the current president of the Boston Sea Rovers. Hopefully you’ll run into Ethan when you are at the show in March. At the end of the article is a video that complements Ethan’s information.

We all know how good we feel to get in the water and dive. Anticipating the giant stride and descent to a beautiful coral reef or an amazing wreck. Everything slows down. We relax and take in everything the ocean provides us. Back on the boat, we enjoy the sunlight and have great discussions about the dive and what is next. Diving is therapeutic. Here is an article for Dive Training Magazine confirming what we know.

Let’s get out and dive. You’ll feel better.

Until next week. Thanks for tuning in,

Jeff
