Greetings!
 It's been a great Indian Summer here in Michigan. I was a Gilboa Quarry this past weekend and was happy to see lots of divers in the water!! The Diving Gods have been good to us! As we head into our Winter season, there is still plenty of opportunities to dive.....that is warm vacation diving.
Check out some of our upcoming dive trips, events and other happenings at Aquatic Adventures of MI.
Sea you under the water,

Storing Your Drysuit For The Winter |
 Now that we are coming to the end of the diving season for all but those few hardy souls who will be diving under the ice, it is time to think about proper storage of your dive gear. Since your drysuit is probably the most expensive single piece of gear you own, it deserves some special treatment. Before you store it away, make sure that it is completely dry inside and out. If the zipper looks dirty, you may wash it with mild soapy water and a soft toothbrush. After it is dry, wax it with paraffin wax.
To help preserve your latex seals, dust them with unscented talcum powder. Most manufacturers recommend against using silicone sprays or oils, because the silicone is absorbed into the fabric, making it virtually impossible to get adhesives to hold when you have to replace your seals.
After your seals are dusted with talc, tuck them into the suit, and then roll it up loosely. Store it in a cool, dry place, away from heat, oil, and chemicals. In other words, don't store it near your water heater, furnace, electric motors, or where it will be exposed to automobile exhaust, i.e., not in your furnace room or your garage. With a little care, it will be looking good and ready to go in the spring.

Hyperbaric Chamber Dive
November 6, 2010 |
 | | Hyperbaric Chamber |
All divers have heard about nitrogen narcosis, some say they have never felt it or know what it feels like. Well, here is your chance to experience a "Chamber Dive" and actually feel what being "narced" is all about.
Aquatic Adventures of MI has made it possible for you to take a ride in the Bronson Methodist Hospital's 6 person Hyperbaric Chamber in Kalamazoo, MI. This is a great opportunity for you to see how a chamber works, what they look like and experience a simulated dive to depths between 100'-150'.
For the fun of it, bring your computer or depth gauge so that you can compare it to your dive buddy's during the ride. Don't forget to bring your log book so that you can get a stamp in it to commemorate your experience
