The show was definitely a success this year! No more trips won today but we have some new items on the way and some more to get your input about! At the next dive club meeting and on the website, we are going to ask for your input on t-shirt designs to add to the store! We found some great ones and have samples to show!
I talked to the White's Dry Suit rep today and he showed me their new suit that is supposed to"feel" like wearing a wetsuit! I guess we will see come the spring when he brings them down for another Demo Days with us! As soon as I know the date, I will let you know!
We saw a presentation on the new DPV and Boat courses this morning and learned about ways to add more content to our website. We are even looking at ways to have students be able to register for classes and purchase their books right from out website!
JR & I found several exciting trip ideas that we are going to present to the dive club as well as a separate "trip presentation" when we sort out all the materials. 1st for those of you waiting on information on the Great White trip...we found the perfect operation to go with and we are finalizing dates on Monday or Tuesday when they return to the office this week! We want to go when the biggest sharks are in and so we are looking at mid October if we can get the space. As soon as we decide the dates with them, we will have 10 days to get a deposit to them. Spaces are filling fast, so if you want to go, you need to let me know ASAP. I will have that trip info definitely by dive club on Thursday!
The 2nd good trip news is that Galapagos is not totally closing as they had announced! It is just closing to the live-a-board boats for conservation issues. Land based operations are still in operation and we have all the info about taking a group there in 2009! If you are interested in this dream trip opportunity, be sure and keep in touch with us so that we can keep you up to date on the trip plans for 2009! We are also happy to report that operators from Cozumel are reporting that the reefs are recovering nicely and they are open for business!
And yet more trip news! We are going to plan a trip to the south Pacific for March of 2009 and we want your input! At an upcoming "travel presentation" that we will be announcing, we will give several slide presentations on some of the dive destinations that we plan on looking at and we want you to tell us where you would like to go! Truk, Palau, Fiji, Tahiti, Australia, Yap, Guam, etc. If you want to look at the destination on Trip-n-Tour's website it will give you an idea of what we are looking at! We will be traveling with them!
Finally, we found a couple of fantastic untouched new dive destinations in the Caribbean that we would love to show you! All of them will be presented in our up and coming "travel prevention".
JR's new big responsibility at Seaweed Diver besides teaching and assisting me with the IDC's is to be our local "Photo Pro"! He did several courses on the Sea & Sea line of Cameras and is excited about some new ideas we are going to work on with photography in 2008! If you are interested in more information on our photography courses or camera options, come talk with JR!
Final reminder that we are starting a new Divemaster course begins on Monday at 5:00 pm. If the dates and times don't work for you, let us know what you need!
Dive club meets Thursday at Tumbleweed at Highlander point! Everyone is welcome, bring you kids and family! You don't have to be a member, just show up and enjoy the company of other divers!
