hearts  Greetings!

Spring and Summer are around the corner and we have plenty of opportunities for you to go diving this year.  Book early for our Cozumel Memorial Day and July 6-9 trips.  The usual flight we take to Cozumel (the charter) is flying a different itinerary for much of the summer requiring a plane change in Cancun.  We have chosen the direct flight on American Airlines for our Memorial Day (May 25-28) trip.  What this means to you is that the earlier you book the better the price will be.  For example Cozumel for this month began booking at $1200 and by mid January was $1800.  If you are planning to join us for one of our fabulous trips it is better to book early and save money.
 
Some of our favorite classes are also going to be increasing in 2012 so book now and lock in 2011 pricing.  Join our fun filled Advanced Open Water class beginning in April and improve your dive skills.
 
Dive Around Texas has started again and we will have the sign-up roster and T-Shirts available the week of February 13th.

NITROX DIVER
NITROX

 

Have you ever dreamed of having longer no-decompression limits to take pictures or explore a wreck? Did you ever want to be safer while diving concerning the potential risk of decompression sickness?

  

Nitrox is the key. Due to the reduced fraction of nitrogen in your breathing gas, your body will have less work and the desaturation times will be reduced.

 

You know you've always wanted to do it, now is the time to get your certification.
 
The current price
 
$109.99
 
We have two classes a month for your convenience.
 
Sign up today as the price of the class will go up March 1st.
 

 

 

AquaLung I3 Series BC

 

AQUALUNG I3 SERIES

 

 

By placing the air cell behind, the diver is more streamlined

The integrated i3 control system provides a single touch control for both inflation and deflation

Flat e-valves are very streamlined and effective. One-way design keeps water out

The multiple dump feature means that when you depress the i3 lever, all of the flat e-valves open at once! No more reaching for the wrong valve

Custom backpack is thin to keep cylinder close to your center of gravity and efficiently distributes the cylinder weight

The Wrapture™ Harness System works in conjunction with the shoulder swivel buckles (patented) to prevent ride-up and supports the weight pockets

The patented SureLock™ II weight system provides a simple, single pull release. Loading is as simple as insert and "click"

Pull down oral inflator is easy to deploy and stow

A strong retractor band is used to pull in the sides of the bladder while deflating

An adjustable chest strap can be raised and lowered on a rail system

HP and MP hose routings through the back keep your entire kit low profile thus minimizing drag
