Bottom Time E

June 10 , 2008

Edition 10

The lakes have finally warmed up enough so we can start doing checkout dives. I think this is the latest we have started doing checkout dives that I can remember. The lakes have been the clearest that I have seen them in years so I guess that is a fair trade off. Now if we can shut off the rain.

Our Super Spring Scuba Sale went great with Derek Topp from Hewitt MN, winning a Sherwood Avid Folding Snorkel. We still have a few items we need to move so stop in and browse through the store.

We still have the big medallion from last year that has yet to be found. The visibility is so good it would be a good time to venture out and look for it. Stop at the dive center and get the clues. You might also come across one of the 40 other medallions in our area lakes to claim a scuba prize.

We have 15% off on all Tri-State Diving clothing till the end of the month on current inventory while it lasts so stop in and get a T-shirt or sweatshirt.

We just completed our first Nitrox class and Advanced open water class for the summer and will have more throughout the summer. We have also had some inquires about doing a rescue diver class so if interested let us know. To see to summer schedule for classes go to the website and either click on the calendar or training.

We had a lot if interest early about going on our St. Croix trip in Jan. of 2009 but we still need a few more to make the trip go so consider joining us on a great live-a-board trip. More information on the website under Dive trips and there are other options to look at.

We have a local connection on Deal or No Deal on Wed. June 11 th . Jennifer Hall who grew up in Perham and the daughter of Jim Hammers (he is great scuba diver) is in the final running to be one of the Deal or No Deal suit case models. Help support a local girl and go to NBC.com and click on the Deal or No Deal show and click on the vote for model search and click on Jennifer H and vote for her. Tell your friends to vote also.

This last Sunday night Dirty Jobs ran our segment again and I know it will be running again in the near future so watch your TV listing or go to Discovery Channel/Dirty Jobs.com to see their listings when the show will be running. We have heard a lot of comments on the airing are would like to hear your comments on the show.

Let get out and enjoy some great diving.

Sea you on the Bottom
