Happy St Pat's day to everyone.

Our ice dive is set for the 25 and 26 of March. The 25 is the classroom at the dive center and Saturday the 26 th being the dives. Next week I will look at the area lakes to see which will work out best for the dives. We have room for more for the class or if certified come along and join in on the dives.

Dave Martin a commercial diver from DL owns his own commercial diving business in Louisiana . Here is a link to video of some of his work. Once you have watched the first one click on additional ones on the right to see more of his work. www.youtube.com/user/wheeljobdiving?feature=mhum

Let me know what you think of the videos.

Classes will be starting at the end of the month for DL. First of April Fergus Falls , Mahnomen and the end of the month West Fargo are when the classes start. There is a free splash party set for the 21 st of March in DL for anyone wanting to try scuba.

On Ocean Reef's website there is a listing of dealers in the US . There are 187 dive shops that carry Ocean Reef and only seven are Platinum dealers and Tri-State Diving is one which is quite an honor. Their new lines of full face masks really look great and if you are interested in trying one stop in.

We are taking a group to dive the wrecks and sea caves in the Apostle Islands on Lake Superior in the middle of August. We have a limited amount of spaces so if interested you need to sign up early to guarantee a spot on the trip. It has been about 15 years since I have taken groups to the Islands and looking forward to going back. The wrecks are in shallow water and temperatures are warm enough to dive a wetsuit comfortably.

Hopefully it will not be long before the lakes are ice free and we can start some open water diving.
