Fall Events and News October 2009
Greetings!

HydroSports students nagivatingHave you felt the change in the air, a nip when you first step outside in the morning? I've seen fog on the fields. These are certain signs the days are getting shorter and that visibility in the Hood Canal and Puget Sound are getting better by the day.
 
Fall is one of my favorite times to dive the Northwest. Why not make an investment in your diving education by earning a Specialty Diver credential or exploring a new area with us.
 
We look forward to sharing the beauty of the underwater world with you soon. 
 
Sincerely,
