Dear End of Summer Revelers:
After a great trip to Alaska, and a week in the Bahamas aboard the Juliet and a
week in St John, USVI, I am happy to say that there are still so many places for
us to go and travel experiences for us to enjoy. There is nothing better than
traveling and exploring with like minded friends and clients to create memories
of a lifetime. If you haven't traveled with us yet, or haven't traveled with us
recently - WHY NOT? Drop me a note and let me know where you want to go and
what type of experience you are hoping to create and let me get working! I will
be in the Florida Keys with a group of Easy Divers sneaking in some end of
summer fun from Aug 3 - 9, and then at the executive headquarters for Carnival
Cruiselines from the 9 - 13. Good news is that with cell phone and wireless
internet for my new laptop, it is my intention to stay in touch while I am
gone. So drop me a line, let me know how your summer is going, what kind of
mischief you have been up to, and what your dreams are for diving and travel in
the future.

SEAL TEAM, Phase 1 - $175 Tuition and Seal Team Crew Pak
(Aquamission Activity Book, video, logbook, membership card, certificate and
decal)
PADI Seal Team is a pool scuba program designed for kids eight and older. This
elite diving team provides all kinds of challenges and learning opportunities as
kids spend time completing their underwater Aquamissions. The Seal Team Program
is divided into four phases and each phase meets for four combination
classroom/pool sessions. Phase I teaches basic scuba skills and behavior as the
kids earn their membership on the Team.
Each student must have mask & snorkel, fins, anti-fog, and gear bag. Not only
is it important to have gear that suits each student's individual needs, but
taking care of, and keeping up with this gear is the first step towards diving
responsibility. We will teach parents and kids how to select the proper
equipment during Seal Team pre-registration.
PST #1 Meets 11:00 AM Saturdays: September 22, 29, Oct 6 & 13
Pre-registration is required, class enrollment deadline is September 7
