The winter proved to be very busy. I
got the opportunity to travel the Costa Mesa CA. I spent 7 long hard
days in which I achieved the Instructor Trainer rating for SDI, TDI,
and ERDI. The adventure added 29 more courses for us to offer our
costumers. The dive season is fast approaching. Soon the ice will
be off with divers eagerly wanting to be the first to get wet. We
will keep you posted as to when that happens as well. keep on eye on
our web site as we have allot of things happening.
