Greetings!
It's time again to set New Year's resolutions.
So I resolve to put out an e-newsletter at least
every
two months. This plan usually works well, as do most
resolutions, for the first few months or so and then
by summer it is a distant memory. As of this
moment on January 26th, 2007...that is
my resolution. Now if I falter, I 'm sure I will
have about 100 e-mails reminding me.
Good luck with all of your resolutions. I hope you
enjoy the newsletter and like the new layout.
Have a wonderful, safe, happy, and healthy New
Year!

Walls, Wrecks, Family Trips and More!
Whether you are looking for high adventure or calm
and relaxing, historical wrecks or breath-taking walls,
Our 2007 Group Travel Schedule has something for
everyone.
Our family trip was so popular last year, we
scheduled two this year. The first is to Curacao, an
island in the Netherland Antillies near Aruba and
Bonaire. Complete with a Seaquarium, kids programs,
and shore diving, Curacao is the perfect escape for
the whole family! Then over the Fourth of July
holiday,
travel to the Mayan Riviera. Here divers can dive
and vacationers can explore Mayan ruins or relax
by the pool. The grand finale...the whole family can
spend the last few days snorkeling together with
Whale Sharks. That's what you call a priceless
moment!

Trouble Equalizing?
Do Your Ears Feel Full After Diving?
|
|
Come meet the local ear doctor that specializes in problems related to diving
February 1st @7 PM
The most common medical issue for new divers and
experienced divers alike is difficulty with equalization.
Many divers have difficultly equalizing on descent,
crackling or squeaking on ascent, or a full feeling
after the dive.
Meet Jeffery Finkelstein, MD a local ENT (Ear, Nose,
and
Throat Doctor) who specializes in diving related ear
and
sinus issues. Dr. Finkelstein will lead a question and
answer session that will demystify equalization and
other ear related diving issues.
Seating is limited. Please RSVP by Wednesday,
January 31, 2007.

Japan marine park captures rare shark on film
|
|
?Living fossil? species has changed little since prehistoric times
Updated: 9:33 a.m. ET Jan 24, 2007
TOKYO - A species of shark rarely seen alive because
its natural habitat is 2,000 feet or more under the
sea was captured on film by staff at a Japanese
marine park this week.
The Awashima Marine Park in Shizuoka, south of
Tokyo, was alerted by a fisherman at a nearby port
on Sunday that he had spotted an odd-looking eel-
like creature with a mouthful of needle-sharp teeth.
