November Newsletter
Hello Adventurers,
I hope you have all been enoying this unique fall, it's always been my favorite time of the year.
It was wonderful to see so many of you at our fall sale. September is typically our slowest month of the year and even more so this year due to the election. Thank you for making it out to see us despite the anticipation of November 5th.
Winter Travel Season
We are busy once again assisting many of you escape the upcoming Ohio winter weather, including the largest trip we've offered since I took over the business. We've got 25 travelers headed to Belize in December.
If you need to get in a dive before a trip, remember we offer equipment checks most pool training days. And if it's been a year or two since your last dive, please be sure to get that refresher scheduled so you aren't in a bind.
Please also budget enough time if you need your gear serviced before a trip. The winter months are our busiest season for gear service, so I recommend getting your gear in to us 3-4 weeks ahead of travel just in case we need to order parts.
Lastly, if you typically rent gear for your dive trips - please keep us in mind. We have the highest quality rental gear, even travel BCDs available. And we will price match what you'd pay to rent onsite during your trip.
Group Travel Updates
Your winter warmer this year is Cozumel, February 1-8. We've got all-inclusive accommodations, 13 dives and a day trip to a Cenote. Our beloved Richard Martin is leading this one, so you don't want to miss out. Register here.
