I Told You So!

When we started this blog, I warned you it was going to be intermittent! I really did not intend for it to be this much time. I have been making a great deal of changes to seaweeddiver.com this winter in an effort to make it even more user friendly and informative. I hope you notice the changes and that you like them. If you have suggestions, please email me them. I am always looking for new ideas. If you haven't explored, you should!

We have also added some new features for communication. In trying to keep up with the times, we have a pretty active Facebook page as does Scuba Steve. If you haven't joined yet, I recommend you get signed up. You also, need to make sure you sign up yourself and all your friends for our email news. We send out special and other important updates there and Facebook first! If you have not gotten emails from us, give me a call and I can check your address. Also, be sure to check your junk mail. We have a lot of old addresses that pop back and some of your business addresses don't get through either.

Just today we began trying another form of communication.....Twitter! It seems to be all the rage, so I thought I would give it a shot! If you "Tweet", make sure to add us. If you want to just see what we are "Tweeting" about, you an access the information from our home page.

If you have not checked out the Dive Calendar on the website, you should definately look it over. The calendar is filling up! We have a ton of classes going on and our trips are going to be great! Everyone is always welcome!

Coming up in April we are going to be doing some digital underwater photo courses! It's the specialty of the month and part one can be done in the pool. Watch for more details to come!

Trip Meeting a Success!

Thanks to all who showed up to last nights meeting! It was great to see some new faces!

If you have been reading your emails, you know that we have a Bonaire Trip planned for July 2009 and a Fiji Trip planned for October 2009!

Last night we announced all the details at the meeting! Today we will get the details posted on the website for those who could not be at the meeting. The response we received for the Fiji and Bonaire trips was fantastic. We have already received deposits from several people holding their spots. The Fiji trip has a limited number of villas and choice of villas is determined by the way you sign up. The Oceanside rooms are going fast! If you think you want to go, you need to get deposits to us ASAP to hold your spaces.

The Bonaire trip is also receiving good responses from everyone! Space is starting to fill on that trip as well. Both trips are great values and we are excited to be able to offer such good deals during this tough economic time.

If you would like to see pictures or talk with us about more details, stop by Seaweed Diver.

Website vs Blog

Over the last year our Seaweed website has taken on different elements and new formats. I am still trying to sort out what works and what does not. So far, most elements are working as intended, however I haven't liked the blog format very much so I have decided to switch back to the blogger website. I hope you find the updates and information here useful. Please feel free to email me comments and suggestions.

Bonaire Trip - July 2008

If you haven't gotten an email this week about our Bonaire trip, go to the website and check out all the information. The trip is going to be GREAT! We have a really good price and lots of options! www.seaweeddiver.com Don't wait to sign up, this one is going to fill fast!

New Website Coming Soon!!!!!

Sorry about the lack of blog posts lately! Things have been quite crazy for the "webmaster" these days at Seaweed! I have been working like crazy to completely redo the website, the newsletter format, the computer sales program AND our new on-line ordering system. Very shortly we will have a fully functional on-line ordering system all tied into the dive center system. We hope this will provide our "tech savy" customers another option of staying involved in the dive community. For those who are not so tech savey, my hope is that the site will be easy to use and very informative!

Please be patient with info and links. I will be doing daily updates and maintenance on as much as my fingers can handle. Feel free to send me any questions or comments and I will do my best to see things get updated.

If you are reading this blog from our "blogger" site, that is going to be all moved to the new website very shortly also! We are trying to simplify everything and consolidate it all in an effort to make our job eaiser and our site more enjoyable for you to use!

In the near future, you will also notice the look and feel of the e-newsletter will change as well. Everything is going to be linked in our system and have a more comfortable feel to it. I welcome your suggestions and comments.

Crystal River A Family Affair & Family Tradition!

This is our 10th year visiting the manatees at Crystal River! For 10 years we have taken snorkelers & divers of all ages to have a close encounter with an endangered species...the Manatee! We would love to have you and your family or friends join our family for this wonder experience in January 2008!

Rosalind and Fred began this family tradition with the oldest grandson and it has become an annual experience that now all the grand kids look forward to each year! Just like last year, we have chosen to make this trip an experience for our entire family so Tina will be joining the family and Seaweed Diver will be closed for the Martin Luther King holiday weekend, inclusive of Friday!

Did you know that you can even earn a PADI Distinctive specialty for diving and snorkeling with the Manatees? Tina wrote a distinctive specialty and got it approve by PADI some years ago and we offer it exclusively to customers on our January trip. This specialty is one that even the kids can earn because she included snorkelers in her course material! All you have to do is stop by and sign up for the trip and ask to be included in our Manatee Specialty Course!

This trip is filling fast so grab your friends and family and come reserve your spot!
