Upcoming Cleanup

20-September is the date for International Coastal Cleanup. I'm planning on Causey Reservoir, near Huntsville.This is a pretty cool dive site: crawdads and lots of stuff to clean up. The water is definitely cooler than places like Blue Lake and The Crater, since it's fed by snowmelt. Check out the photos from last year's cleanup.
We'll probably have a great opportunity to use the skills from the Search & Recovery Specialty and the S&R Adventure Dive. Contact me if you want to learn more.


New Courses

Looking for a career change? Ready to escape your 9-to-5 cubicle life?
I can help you out with that dream. As mentioned last month, I attended the PADI Course Director Training Course(CDTC). I'm now a PADI Course Director, and I can now conduct the PADI Instructor Development Course(IDC) and Open Water Scuba Instructor(OWSI) programs. I've also applied to teach several PADI Specialty Instructor programs.
Not sure? Listen to my friend TJ talk about it:






IYOR International Year of the Reef

2008 has been designated the International Year of the Reef. This is a great time to take the Project AWARE and AWARE Coral Reef Conservation Specialties. You'll learn about reef ecology, how we impact coral reefs and how we can better protect these underwater rainforests.

Think you can't dive in Utah? Think again! Utah has some very unique dive sites. Blue Lake (in Utah, you just drive through Nevada to get to it) and the Crater (Homestead Resort, Midway, Utah) are both geothermal dive sites that provide unique dives you can't find outside of Utah.
