IT’S TIME

When was the last time you dove? Do you need a easy review by making a simple dive or two then continuing your education by taking a advanced course maybe just the ticket. The PADI ADVANCED Course is a combination of 5 adventure dives which introduce you to new types of diving adventures. Designed so you can go straight into it after the The PADI Open Water Diver course. The Advanced Course helps you increase your confidence and build your scuba skills so you can become more comfortable in the water. This is a great way to get more dives under your belt while continuing to learn under the supervision of your PADI instructor. This course builds on what you've learned and develops new capabilities by introducing you to new activities and new ways to have fun scuba diving.
This program can be completed in one weekend.

A beautiful Reason People Cave Dive!!!

Being a responsible diver means when you Strap on a dive computer you shouldn't turn off your brain.

A Few Tips

>> NOT Rinsing Your Gear in Fresh Water!

Don't believe it? Spend £300 on a name brand regulator and don't rinse it a few times. Take it to the dive shop (along with a whole bunch-o-money) and they may be able to fix it for you! This applies to ALL equipment, even your gear bag! If you think that super expensive Titanium knife you invested in won't rust go ahead and give it a try. When advertisers claim titanium doesn't corrode they should finish the sentence - titanium doesn't corrode ... as fast as other metals!

>> Storing Your Weights in Your Gear Bag:

Go ahead, drop that 10-pounder on your regulator console and dive computer. Keeping weights in your gear bag not only risks damage to other parts of your gear, it makes for a helluva heavy bag! Carry your weights separately, either on the belt or in a weight bag especially made for the job. Some divers (myself included) like those small plastic bins available at DIY stores. They are small and heavy duty, plus they keep the boot of your car dry and can be used to block tanks

Wet Suit Trade-In
Kids Wetsuit Program Did you know Sunken Treasure has a special wetsuit program for kids? We raised two boys and know what it's like to buy clothes they grow out of long before they wear out, so check this out. We have a Trade-In program for kids 15 and younger that will help.

Should I Dive Wet or Dry?

There’s no question if you’ve been diving a long time that wetsuits have gotten much better over the years, so why go to a drysuit?
Warmth is probably the most important reason to decide to dive dry. You know that neither a wetsuit nor drysuit actually keeps you warm. What they do is slow the amount of heat loss. Wetsuits do this using a layer of neoprene and a thin layer of water trapped between that and the skin. As the wetsuit compresses, it gets thinner and loses insulating capacity. Drysuits use air and a combination of undergarments. With drysuits you can add layers of insulation to slow the loss of body heat. Drysuits allow the diver to add air and compensate for the increased pressure at depth.
Comfort would be another reason. Wetsuits can be snug and uncomfortable to some people and the same suit doesn’t work in all conditions whereas a drysuit (by simply changing the thermals you wear) works under more circumstances and generally does not fit as tightly, adding to your comfort.
Once a diver buys a wetsuit there is very little maintenance other than proper rinsing. Drysuits, with proper care, can last 15 – 20 years or more. This is using the suit on a regular basis, say 100 dives a year. A wetsuit seeing that much use may last five years. They say in 3 years a wetsuit would lose 10% of it's stretch and in 10 or 12 years 80% of its’ stretch is gone. In the long run, a dry suit may actually be less expensive and dry suits often hold their value for resale.
A drysuit will most definitely extend your diving season making it more comfortable to dive sooner and longer into the season.

First Friday ....
Coffee Nites began back in January however the coffee pot is always on and since we’re open (until 9pm on Monday and Friday evenings they are generally the best nights just to stop in to socialize, As bad as the weather has been it’s hard to get excited and to setup a lot of dives until we start getting in the water, Keep in touch with the store through the web site or Facebook to keep up with what is going on, However Listed below is what we have so far: .
