CUSTOMER CORNER (DON’T TAKE OUR WORD FOR

IT….BUT THE LAKE IS A GREAT TIME)

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.
