Had a great time teaching the NAUI Advanced Openwater course last
weekend. We did gas calculations, navigation, night, low visibility,
deep and current dives. The Advanced is a two day course available to
openwater certified divers to expand their experience and in water
abilities.  Improve your skills here.

Haven't been diving for awhile? Not certain you remember everything your instructor taught in your openwater certification?  Want to refine your basic skills and build confidence in equipment handling or buoyancy control with a superlative NAUI instructor?

Schedule your Refresher Course with us.  It is 3 dives of skills refining and coaching in a safe and fun environment.

 

Here's our top 5 suggestions for a diver's new years resolution:

1. I will collect all trash I see underwater and dispose of them properly after the dive.
2. I will learn more about marine animals so I may lessen the impact of my presense in their environment.  I will also follow and support more ecological initiatives.
3. I will upgrade my diving knowledge and skills through NAUI continuing education courses.
4. I will venture and explore more dive destinations.
5. I will be a better dive buddy by giving my scuba gear proper maintainance and regular service.

Study scuba diving now.  Your certification card will identify you as a bonafide diver and be your life long passport to underwater adventures.

Seacam announced the Prelude Series of their underwater dslr housings.  Fitment for the recently released Canon 60D and Nikon D7000 would be initially available.  The Seacam units are well regarded for the materials, construction, ergonomics and modularity.  I specially like the option to swap marine viewfinders.  The Prelude would be 40% cheaper than full function housings (all camera buttons press-able) for bodies like D3 and 1Ds, the trade off is reduced buttons on the waterproof case.  If you do not make a lot of camera setting changes while photography diving then this could be your ticket into the world of premium quality Seacam systems.

You can buy submarine housings for various cameras from these retailers:
