Divers Product List:
We have non-divers asking, do you know what my friend/family member wants or needs, having no idea about the equipment. What we offer to help make this easier is a product registry for you the diver/snorkeler. You stop in to pre-select what you would like, what color, what size or what style, we keep a list of these items.
This way you get what you want/need and they know what you want/need.
We also add a little more incentive for the person buying these items for you.
If you register for this program they will receive 10% off retail prices; this is good until the end of 2008.
gDiver/Snorkelerh must register their name and product(s) for this incentive to apply.
So make sure they know we have the list and they get the savings.
(Out of the area buyers, we can ship it to you UPS for a minimal cost.)

Tanks and Diving:
It isn't the size of the tank; it's how you use it.
When I hear divers talk, new and experienced, they ask how long did you stay down underwater and how much air do you have left? It's a very common question and maybe kind of a competition "I stayed down 45 minutes and had 1500psi left, how much air did you have left and how long did you dive"? I even do it myself, of course sometimes people forget about the size of the tank they are using. They also say I need to get a bigger tank because I can not stay down very long, in certain types of dives this all makes sense, like deeper dives or any type of penetration dives. I try to encourage people to consider maybe working on their diving skills, such as; breathing techniques, streamlining (arm placement and movement), proper fin kicking, all these play an important factor in your air consumption. You need to get more dives in, dive more often not once a year, own your gear is important, you are now comfortable with it and familiar with it. So REMEMBER, "It isn't the size of the tank; it's how you use it". Thanks to Justin Behrens he is responsible for this saying.
