When you feel totally alone, either you stay at the shoreline, or you dive deep into the depths of the ocean and find what you're made of.

Easy Divers Scuba and Travel

2015

Dear Easy Diver,

A new year is always exciting: trips to plan, classes to teach, gear to sell, and new friends to make.  This year is shaping up to be bigger, better, and stronger than ever before.  With our newest Open Water Scuba Instructor, Matt taking on Instructor duties and Tater Belle taking on promotional, marketing, and travel duties, and an amazing array of Rescue Divers and Divemasters stepping up, I have more support than ever.  My goal is to take advantage of this great staff in order to offer new specialty classes, more and varied trip destinations, and to spend more time finding out what YOU want to do this year as a diver or vacationer. 

To support our growth, it is exciting to announce that Well Worx has been sold and is now going to be known as Intensive Fitness.  We have a new and forward thinking owner who is making some great and well needed changes to the club.  Please bear with us as we adjust to all the ongoing construction and policy changes.  Please note: with the new admissions policy, I must know that you are planning to show up at the pool or office ahead of time.  I must supply the front desk with your name so that they can have a release ready for you and will admit you into the building. I believe that we will eventually be issued swipe cards that will admit you straight into the back door and pool.  There will also be changing rooms and lockers built into the end of the pool building which will be nice for us as well.  Part of our new agreement is that Easy Divers has taken over the vacuum maintenance of the indoor pools, and we are hoping to provide cleaner, clearer water in our salty 98 degree pool. Stay tuned for more details as they become available.

Our Fitness Fanatic program has been as popular as ever during these winter months.  Effective immediately, session activity fees will be $15.  If any of you are holding our old Fitness Fanatic 4 session pass, please be sure and use up any remaining sessions prior to April 1, 2015.  Starting February 1, all participants will need to use the PayPal button on our website to pay and reserve your sessions no later than noon on the day of the event.  This will help us provide the best experience possible for all divers.

As always, thank your for your friendship, your business, and your referrals!

With my warmest regards,

Vortex and Morrison Springs Dive Weekend
February 27 - March 1, 2015
March 27 - 29, 2015
   After a few months without any local diving opportunities, we are ready to go play!  The trip to the Springs is around an eight hour drive away, and it is a perfect setting for anyone completing their training as well as anyone who is already certified.  Why not enjoy the benefit of traveling with Instructors, guides, qualified dive buddies, and fun travelers?  Staying at the onsite house, The Treasure Chest, really makes the whole weekend comfortable, convenient, fun and special.  We love having somewhere warm to hang out between dives, a full kitchen to prepare good food, and plenty of living and sleeping space for our group.
  Our trips always include: custom itinerary and packing list, one pool water practice session, access to rental gear, 2 nights shared accommodations, 2 days diving fees, airfills, lunch and dinner on Saturday, and either direct or indirect supervision by our Easy Divers Staff.
 
  Trip Fee:  $385 for divers in training
                  $355 for certified divers - gear

Live Aboard Fun
The Bahamas
The Avalon: May 23 - 29, 2015
 
 
Escape to the crystal blue waters and white sand beaches of the Bahamas. Discover the seductive beauty of the most diverse ecosystem on the planet. Sail to the outer reaches of the Bahamas to dive spectacular coral reefs that few people have ever visited.
  The Avalon is a sixty-five foot ketch rigged sailboat that was built with a shallow draft to allow us to enjoy live aboard sailing, diving and exploratory charters throughout the Bahamas. Topside is equipped with cushioned seating inside the horseshoe, and a nice chaise lounge that seats three. Plenty of deck space toward the bow allows for sun tanning or relaxing in between dives. We also have floating mattresses on board if you prefer to do your lounging in the water. And after a nice dive, swim or snorkel, there is a fresh hot and cold-water rinse topside.
  Below decks, the main salon comfortably seats twelve with audiovisual entertainment. We have six cabins with en suite sinks. Five of our cabins have double bunks that can be made into a double with a single upper bunk, and we have one cabin that has two single bunks. Avalon is equipped with two push-flush heads and two hot-water showers. All living quarters are air-conditioned.
  This trip is especially slated for families and newer divers.  There will be plenty of 'easy diving' in depths up to 60 feet, as well as lots of extra action packed activities - boom riding anyone?? Our boat departs from Nassau, Bahamas and will most likely travel to the Exumas area.  Of course Mother Nature will dictate our exact course and direction.
      
        Deposit:  $300 per person to reserve space

After our amazing familiarization trip to the Philippines last year, we could not WAIT to share this amazing experience with all of you.  This destination does not disappoint on ANY level. There is currently very affordable airfare from most US gateway cities and we still have room for six lucky travelers.
