What's on your agenda this summer? Tending your garden? Extended bike rides? Travel with your family?
  
No matter what your plans are, make room for some underwater exploration and aquatic therapy.
  
Our team has a growing list of local and regional dive opportunities planned over the next few months: Fish ID classes and Great Annual Fish Count surveys, Big Cliff Reservoir drift dives, boat dives at the Detroit Reservoir and Family Camp and Dive weekend at Clear Lake to name a few.
  
HydroSports Education Team has grown and we're excited to dive with you. Kelly Schiedler and Noel Mak have completed their PADI Divemaster training. Dick A. Holihan Jr is days away from completing DM training. Congratulations to these three addicted divers on becoming professional members of PADI.

With gentle currents and visibility often reaching in excess of 100 feet, Cozumel is a fabulous place for easy and exciting drift diving. Find out just how relaxing Cozumel drifting can be! See breath-taking healthy coral and sponges and unique marine life as you ride the currents.

  

We're diving with Aldora Divers, the premier dive operator in Cozumel. Why? Choose steel 80, 100 or 120 cubic foot tanks. 70 minute bottom times (air supply permitting). Surface interval on the beach at a local cantina (not floating in the sun). FAST boats (shorter run time to dive sites). Our choice of dive sites (not where the boat captain wants to go). Aldora excels in providing personalized service, extended bottom times, great boats, and you never have to haul your gear or even clean it! They do it all!
