Changes at Oceanic Ventures

ashton last day
Ashton and Joyce – Ashton is Working Until the Last Minute


The world keeps changing and Oceanic Ventures is not immune.  After graduating from the University of Houston, Ashton, our Retail Manager, has decided to change things up a bit and move to Boston.  He is a part of our family and a part of the Oceanic Ventures family.  He is moving to Boston to be closer to Joyce, who moved up to Boston a year ago.


Ashton will still be involved with the Company as a consultant and would like to lead a few of the really cold water trips (there are not many of our staff who love ice diving); he has also agreed to help us with some other projects.


Before leaving, Ashton tried to perform a Vulcan Mind Meld with Alex and transfer much of his knowledge and experience to him.  Alex is a long-time client who has come on-board to take over some of Ashton’s duties and to keep Ann and me on-track.  Please wish him well in that task!
You will also find some other new staff working part-time in the store along with some other old friends.  Please come by and meet Alex and check on Dive Mom.  You can reach Alex by email or phone just as you can reach Ann or me via our personal email accounts and through the store’s main account at divesafe@oceanicventures.net.

Things are changing but one thing remains the same, our commitment to being your door to adventure!TM  We have a lot of exciting things happening this year including some cool travel opportunities, Club Aquarius meetings, and our all new DiverXY group.  You really have no excuse not to make scuba diving a lifetime pastime.

Ashton Graduated!

Graduation Ceremony

Friday was the day! Ashton Arsement graduated from the University of Houston with a degree in Economics.
You may not know this but Ashton has been working full time and pursuing his college degree from the University of Houston.  On friday all of his hard work paid off and he attained his goal and was awarded his degree.  We are all very proud of him.  It took a great deal of work and perseverance to reach this point.  Ashton has shown a great deal of dedication to achieving his goals.
After his last exam. we asked what he is going to do now, he did not say he was going to Disney World, but rather he felt funny because there was no more studying to do or concern over classes for next semester.
On behalf of the entire staff of Oceanic Ventures, Congratulations, Ashton!
