Winter is gone and spring is in the air, it's time to think about diving again! We haven't had much good news the last few months with fuel prices continueing to climb and travel costing more and more so this year at Undersea Outfitters we are working on our travel schedule to fit today's economy. Easier trips, a little less time and effort, for less cost. Don't forget that local diving still offers the chance to explore, see creatures, and experience the FUN of scuba. Hyde's Quarry continues to offer the easiest and best value in diving around, so get outside, get wet, visit friends, and have some fun!

ST. LAWRENCE RIVER, CANADA
JULY 18-20 AND AUGUST 8-10 2008
Just ask the divers who go every year what fun diving is on the St. Lawrence. Great wrecks, good visibility, short boat rides, and best of all, warm water! Summer water temperatures will allow you to leave your heavy wetsuit at home as you drift along intact shipwrecks. With dive activities for divers of all experience levels the St. Lawrence has become one of the most popular dive destinations in the Northeast. On these 3-day weekend adventures you'll have the opportunity experience 3 days of boat diving and explore 7 different sites. After diving, wander around historic Brockville and enjoy some great food. In August we will be there for the annual RibFest Celebration. This is a great weekend of diving and fun. Spaces fill fast so reserve your spot soon!

IN MEMORIAM
|
|
Undersea Outfitters is sad to announce the loss of one of our own. John Miley passed away this past winter after battling long term illnesses. John was one of our original Divecons and had been with our store almost from the moment it opened. He helped countless students experience the joys of diving. While absent the last few years his contributions will always be fondly remembered.

SERVICE
|
|
Don't wait till the last minute a miss a chance to go diving because your gear isn't ready when you are. Drop off your regulators, inflators, tanks etc. and avoid the delay in service times by getting it done early. Normal service takes about a week ( we can rush it if needed) but with the upcoming warm weather, early service gets you underwater sooner!
