Equipment Tip of the month
If you're like many divers, taking care of your mask, snorkel and fins probably consists of a small dose of spit and the occassional fresh water rinse. Did you know there is more to taking care of your mask than just rinsing it off in fresh water and storing it for the next trip?
If you want your mask, fins and snorkel to keep that fresh from the store look, and more importantly keep the silicone soft and supple, spray each item with silicone and wipe it clean. This will also help slow down the the yellowing of the silicone.
Another great use for silicone spray is for getting into your full foot fins. A quick once over with the spray will help your foot slide right into those fins!
You can purchase small bottles of silicone here at the store. We keep one in our save a dive kit for use on trips as well as keeping our gear fresh on our return.
Want to learn more about keeping your gear in top shape? Consider completing the PADI Equipment Specialist course. |

Conservation Corner
 Sharks have lived on our planet for 400 million years, predating the dinosaurs. Yet unregulated commercial fishing could end all that. Please let your Senator know that you support the Shark Conservation Act of 2009 (S. 850).
An estimated 73 million sharks around the world are killed every year, primarily for their fins, which are used in the Asian delicacy shark fin soup. Too often, fishermen slice off the valuable fins and discard the bodies at sea. This wasteful practice is known as "finning". Finning was banned in all U.S. waters in 2000, but loopholes in the law hamper effective enforcement. As a result of this high demand and lax fishing limits, many shark species, including hammerheads and makos, are now threatened with extinction.
The Shark Conservation Act, introduced by Senator John Kerry (D-MA), would ban removal of shark fins at sea, close other loopholes in the current U.S. shark finning law and promote the conservation of sharks internationally. The legislation passed the House unanimously in March of this year.
