Great Entry Level Reg!


Just getting started diving or looking for a nice back up reg? The Aqua Lung Titan is a perfect pick. The Titan regulator series features a balanced diaphram first stage that is equiped with the "Air Turbo System", an additional channel that is built into the first stage designed to boost the breathing performance. That means from the very first breath from a full tank to the last breath this reg will deliver the air smoothly. This reg is also Nitrox compatable up to 40%, out of the box. The new, easy to grip, Vane Adjustment Switch (VAS) controls venturi assist to reduce sensitivity to freeflow on the surface and provide maximum airflow at deeper depths. The Titan also comes with the smaller Comfo-bite mouthpiece that is perfect for younger diver or divers with smaller mouths. This reg normally retails at $330 but during our Spring Sale you can get one for $250!! Don't miss out, this sale is for in stock products only. There are 4 available. The Spring Sale is one day only (April 11th from 10am to 5pm).

St. Croix Live A Board Adventure


If you have never had the chance to experience "live-a-board" diving, put it on your top 5 of "must do's" as a diver! We just returned from a fantastic week of "live-a-board" diving in St. Croix USVI. For those not familiar with "live-a-board" diving, here is how it works: 
  • Imagine setting up your dive gear once, moving it only to roll in Caribbean blue water. 
  • Fresh baked cookies and naps in between dives. 
  • Lounging on the sun deck with the hills of St. Croix as a backdrop. 
  • And did I forget the 4 to 5 dives a day! 
The week was beautiful, full of dive achievements and exploration. George completed his Advanced certification and Deep Diver Speciality. Mike & Nick completed their Deep Diver Speciality, Boat Speciality & Night Diving Speciality. Nick also received the "best eater" award, out doing Dale at most meals! Sorry Nick, I don't think there is a speciality for that. Will & Julie hit the 50 dive mark. Julie earned the nickname the "seahorse whisperer" by finding 6 seahorses in one dive. Some girls have all the luck! Joyce hit the 200 dive milestone during her week on board and took lots and lots of pictures. Dale logged his 300th dive and as always was the "best dressed in the water" with his outstanding outerwear collection! Amy did the most dives during her week, chalking up 26 dives.
We hit some great divesites during our week of fun in the sun including Cane Bay, Friedricksted Pier, Vertigo and  Armageddon. The dives varied from shallow coral gardens that were great for finding your tropical favorites and taking pictures to virtually bottomless wall dives with huge barrel sponges and fans. The night dives brought out octopus, lobsters and cool bioluminescence. The highlight of the week for some was the Captain authorized food fight!
So if you have never experienced a "live-a-board" dive trip, keep it on your "must do" list. If you have been "on-board", you know how spoiled you can get. Check out our 2010 travel for great dive destinations and "live-a-board" adventures.
See you "on board"!!
