 Belize Diving/Fishing Combo 
This is a trip like you've never seen!  Love to dive?  Ripping lips your idea of a good time?  Want to do both?!?  Then this is the trip for you!
 
What could be better than spending the morning diving the 2nd largest barrier reef in the world, followed by going for the Grand Slam of fly fishing?  Join us June 18 - 25, 2011 as we try to tackle both.  This unique trip gives you the chance to combine your favorite activities in the ultimate vacation.
 
Not into fishing?  No problem!  This trip offers 3 dives daily for those that want to spend their time blowing bubbles, rather than throwing lines.  Turneffe Flats Lodge is a divers paradise, with world class diving just minutes from their dock.

Reef Fish and Creature Identification
Pygmy SeahorseHave you ever surfaced from a dive and asked your buddy "What kind of fish was that black and orange one you pointed out?".  Or been asked if you saw the toad fish, when you have no idea what a toad fish looks like?  Then this is your opportunity to learn a bit more about the fish and creatures we visit on every dive.
 
Designed to expand your knowledge of the fish and creatures you may see throughout the Caribbean and Pacific, this night of photographs and stories will get you prepped for your next dive adventure!  This is not a certification class, but the information can be applied towards the Fish ID Specialty.

Equipment Tip of the month
Service Center
School's out, and for many it's time to head out on a vacation to some tropical destination.  Many can just pack a bag and jump on a plane, but for us scuba divers, we need to think about preparing ourselves for the upcoming adventure. 
 
Our life support equipment should be on the top of the list of things to take care of.  Annual maintenance, or if it's been less than a year, a pre-dive check by the service department, is always a good idea.  Plan ahead early as it is not uncommon for the service department to need about a week to turn your equipment around. 
 
Now that your gear is ready to go, how are your diving skills?  If it has been longer than two years since your last dive, we'd highly recommend a Scuba Review (many dive operators are requiring this if it's been longer than 2 years).  This is your chance to knock out all the cobwebs and be prepared to enjoy your vacation from dive #1.  If you've just had some equipment serviced, this is a prime opportunity to make sure it is tuned to your satisfaction. 
 
Have a new piece of equipment?  Be sure to get comfortable with this as well.  If it has been less than 2 years since your last dive, schedule a pool workout, or join our monthly Pool Night to come and try everything on, getting yourself and your gear ready for your trip.
 
A few steps taken now can greatly improve your first dives in that tropical paradise.  By planning ahead, you can turn that first giant stride into a confident step towards a relaxing vacation!
