Boston Sea Rovers

Mark your calendars - Boston Sea Rovers is scheduled for March 9-11 2012. I have to admit, I like this show - it is well organized, well attended and has all of the right sponsors to make it interesting. Yes, its smaller than "Beneath the Sea", but that is an advantage - you actually get time to spend with the vendors without being pushed by a thousand other attendees trying to ask about something that happened to them in the Caymans. More information at http://www.bostonsearovers.com/. Great venue too!

TecRec Scuba Centers

Congratulations to Course Director David Valaika and the team at Indian Valley Scuba (www.indianvalleyscuba.com), in Harleysville PA on being designated as a PADI TecRec Center. They are one of PADI's first TecRec Centers in the Northeast United States, and one of only a few PADI Instructor Development Centers to offer professional level training in the full range of PADI Technical Courses.

For those of you interested in trying out Tec Diving, IVS is offering a Discover TecRec Diving on Sunday September 25^th 2011. Details below:

“Join us for the day for your chance to experience diving in a technical diving rig absolutely free of charge. There will be presentations by IVS staff on rebreathers, technical dive gear, mixed gas diving, and technical instructors in the pool to give you the chance to try out the equipment for yourself. Even if you have never thought about technical diving before here is your chance to find out for yourself that technical diving is not only for those who want to venture to the depths of the ocean floor but has its place in all levels of diving. This is an excellent way to learn about safely extending your bottom time on sites like the LSD-32 Spiegel Grove or Vandenberg during our Florida Keys trips.”
