Hello Tyler,
I wanted to drop you a quick note to express my appreciation and grati-
tude for a safe, educational, and memorable weekend at your Beaver
Lake open water site this past weekend. June and I had a wonderful
time becoming reacquainted with the sport, while observing your very
experienced staff guide our son through his open-water certification.
As you know, June and I have been open-water certified for many years,
but have not had the opportunity to dive for a while, several years. In
preparation for our up-coming trip to the Caribbean, we decided to
have our youngest son Colten certified, which also gave us the oppor-
tunity to take your refresher course to brush up on our rusty skills. Our
experience could not have been better.
I was very impressed with you and your staff’s ability to instruct on
many levels, and from different approaches. There was a wide range of
ages, and ability levels in the class, which required the material to be
delivered from different angles, perspective, and patience. They were
also very attentive, and eager to answer or address any questions or
concerns. Do to the harsher condition normally associated Lake diving,
the experience can be intimidating and at some times overwhelm-
ing. Your staff’s experience, knowledge, and over-the-top passion for
the sport handled these challenges without pause.
The accommodations were very clean, organized, and with the lake only
steps away, the views were spectacular. Food and beverages were nev-
er ending, which may have added to my need for a little less in my
weight belt by the end of the weekend. Another temptation that may
have reduced my need for ballast was your wife’s lasagna. OMG was
that meal good!
All in all, a great 1st impression of your dive shop and staff. We are look-
ing forward to many more diving experience with you and your group,
including our Advanced and Rescue Dive course. Thank you again for a
great experience and please convey our appreciation and gratitude to
your staff.
Best regards,
Don
ADVANCED OPEN WATER COURSE
The Advanced Open Water Diver Course (AOW) is the next
step in learning advanced skills directly applicable to scuba
diving. Frequently, an AOW card is just the ticket to diving at a
variety of more sites. For example, we know of several places
in the Philippines, Malaysia, Australia, and some wreck sites in
Florida who will not let you dive at certain, more advanced
sites, unless you have the AOW or above certification. The
reason is that the operators don't want to risk putting OW di-
vers into certain advanced level dive conditions such as cur-
rents or deep, blue water, environments. They know that PADI
AOW certified divers have the skills and experience necessary
for such sites.
There are a total of 5 dives necessary to complete the course.
The required 2 Core dives are Deep and Underwater Naviga-
tion. You can choose the remaining 3 Adventure Dives. This
course is for newly certified divers as well as divers with more
experience who wish to expand their knowledge and practical
skills. Also, if you don't have enough time to complete the full
AOW course, the Adventure Diver rating is awarded after com-
pletion after any 3 Adventure Dives.
Why should you take the Advanced Open Water Course?
Open Water Divers have learned the basics, the "how" of div-
ing. After a few dives, there is a need to expand that dive
knowledge and learn practical skills which can increase your
enjoyment of diving. Ever surface far away from the boat and
have a long surface swim back? With the Navigation dive, you
will learn how to prevent that situation, using compass as well
as natural navigational aids to assist in your underwater jour-
ney. For deep diving, there are special concerns, and as an
Open Water Diver, you are certified to dive 18 meters/60 feet.
After completing the AOW course, that level is extended to 30
meters/100 feet.
If you really want to advance your skills and be more comforta-
ble in the water, taking this course is the way to do it. We
have openings for the MAY 8-10 Beaver lake trip. Give us a
call and schedule your course today!
About Scuba Pro MK17/
G260 Regulator
The Mk17 First Stage Regulator is the perfect choice for the recreational
diver who wants the advantage of a diaphragm first stage for use in
temperate waters. Diaphragm-based first stages are environmentally
sealed so that water cannot enter the inner mechanism. The Mk 17 also
incorporates a Dry ambient pressure chamber, providing better perfor-
mance in cold water than any other diaphragm regulator. Bearing in
mind that regulators generate temperatures as low as minus 22°F (-5.5 °
C) due to the incredibly fast moving air and the pressure drop involved,
it is imperative that sensitive moving metal parts avoid contact with
extremely cold water or debris. Therefore, diaphragm first stages have
been the favored choice of cold-water divers and those working in con-
taminated or muddy water. SCUBAPRO diaphragm first stages feature
balanced technology and are packed with patented features resulting in
ultra fast flow to the second stage on demand and a fantastic overall
performance. Additionally, its over-balanced diaphragm first stage de-
sign gives you better breathing performance at greater depths. First-
Stage Regulator is equipped with two HP and four LP Ports. Two of the
LP Ports are High Flow Ports (HFP) for easier breathing on demanding
dives.
The G260 is a new Balanced Adjustable Second Stage featuring Metal
Components for Excellent Cold Water Resistance (inlet tube, orifice,
inhalation control knob and hose connector). Its High Performance
makes it a choice for all Demanding Divers and it will be the natural
choice for G250 fans. The new Left-Right Hose Attachment Option
makes it ideally suited for Tech Diving Configurations. The G260 Air Bal-
anced Flow Valve is made from Durable Corrosion Resistant Chrome
Plated Brass. The Regulator has a Diver Adjustable Inhalation Effort that
allows Personalized Breathing Control and a Venturi Initiated Vacuum
Assist (VIVA) to prevent Free Flow in Cold Water or when used as an
Octopus.
The G260 is equipped with a High Flow Exhaust Valve that Reduces Ex-
halation Effort for better Breathing Comfort. Regulator also has a High
Comfort Orthodontic Mouthpiece. The Second Stage is equipped with a
Comfortable Orthodontic Mouthpiece. All these features produce the
Highest Performance in any Conditions.

Discover the new Legend

technology and sleek cosmetic appeal. The new Legends are smaller
and lighter making for a more comfortable dive. Whether you are
jet setting to an exotic location or diving your local spot, the Legend
will give you the confidence to dive like a pro and look like a rock
star.
If you want the same high performance features and ease of breath-
ing as the Legend LUX but without the pink gold finish, you will find it
with the Legend LX. Like the Legend LUX, the Legend LX features the
Master Breathing System (MBS) .
$609.00 IN STOCK
The new Wisdom 3 is an intuitive easy
to use and operate with easy to read
large digital display. The computer has
diver selectable alarms, deep stop reminders, DECO warnings,
and has Air, Nitrox and Gauge Modes. Computer has a dive
simulator that allows you to walk yourself through any dive be-
forehand, and see your limits without getting wet. The repetitive
dive planning mode uses information from previous dives to see
limitations of your next dive. Logging your dives is made easy
with the dive log function that stores profiles for later recall and
viewing. The computer can be activated manually or will auto-
matically activate when it gets wet.
