Adventure News from Heartland Scuba Center April 2010
Greetings!

Sandy Channel

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Sandy Channel, in the photo above, is crystal clear right now.  I stopped by and checked it out last Sunday--must be 20-25 ft visibility right now--both the east and west ends!  I'm getting anxious to get out there and get started diving for the season.  Check out the calendar and you'll see we have three weekends of lake diving in a row starting April 17.  Come on out and enjoy the clear water with us.
 
I attended the meeting of the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission in Lincoln on Friday, March 19.  I was one of four divers who spoke in favor of changing the bag limit for Walleye from two to four.  It passed unanimously, so we can now shoot four Walleyes per day at Lake McConaughy!  Great News!
 
Remember this last brutal, long Winter?  Well, it's not too early to start planning for next year.  Check out all the details on our February trip to Grand Cayman.
 
We're still working out all the details, but we're planning a return trip to the Philippines in early- or mid-March.  As soon as we get all the details on that worked out, I'll send out all the information.
 
In the meantime, check out our local trips--they're fun and inexpensive.
 
 
See you in the water,

Grand Cayman
February 5-12, 2011
Compass Point
  
Join us next February for our return to Grand Cayman.  It's been quite a few years since we were there, so it's time to go back.  Cayman has some of the best diving found in the Caribbean, and the East End of the island has some of the best diving in the Cayman Islands. 
 
We negotiated a great price for this trip so take advantage of it and dive with us.  You can find more information on our website:

Blue Water Lake
April 23-25, 2010
Blue Water Lake
  
Join us in Oronogo MO for our Spring trip to Blue Water Lake.  This is a great place for deep diver training, or anything else you might want to pick up.  Or, just dive for fun.  
 
This is a very inexpensive trip that is a lot of fun.  Please call or stop in for more information.

Blue Hole
May 14-16, 2010
Blue Hole
  
We're going to do a Spring trip to the Blue Hole in Santa Rosa NM this year.  This artesian spring is 80 feet deep, super clear--a great place for deep diver training, or just a great place for fun diving.
 
This is one of our most inexpensive trips, but still one of the most fun.  (The Mexican food down there is fantastic!)
 
Call or stop in for more information.

Bull Shoals 
June 25-27, 2010
Blue Hole
  
Join us for another trip to the Ozarks to dive this fantastic reservoir.  By this time in June, the water will be toasty warm.  We've had 50 ft visibility in this lake when we've been there before.
 
Swimming or scootering through the flooded forests is hard to beat!
