The other day, I had an idea to try a new video for the website. My idea was to have a short video to add to our website for new divers to entice them to call or come-by. Since our program is a little different, I thought a video might be a good start along with a new page focused on becoming a scuba diver. Below is the first video I came up with. I have also set-up the new page for a new diver that hopefully provides a little information and will entice them to call. You can find that page here. Please let me know what you think.

Trip Report – Cozumel Birthday and Anniversary Trip!
First day in Cozumel was great! A little delay while they worked on the aircraft, but with some tailwinds we made it on time. We went out on the boat with Jose Luis and Danielle to Paradiso (Paradise Reef) for our shake down dive, and for Susan’s very first Open Water Dive! She did great! We saw a Spotted Moray, Yellow Stingray, Scorpionfish and more Arrowhead Crabs than I could count. After a great 70 min dive we all got back and we’re headed to Casa Mission to celebrate Stephen’s Birthday.
New Scuba Diving Staff

It was a busy weekend! It was an open water weekend with great results!
Saturday was Stress & Rescue day with Bubba Alex being found all over the lake without his buddy. He seemed to find himself, stuck in the boat, laying on the bottom, panicking on the surface, running out of air numerous time. Throughout it all, Bill, John, Mike and Chris kept dragging him back to shore and helping him get ready for his next dive. I think they were ready to tie him up and leave him on the bottom by the time it was done. At one point Bill turned to John and asked, isn’t this the same fool we just rescued from the boat? Where is his buddy? I am thinking that his buddy knew what kind of diver he was and left for the day.
Congratulations guys for putting up with us and finishing your Rescue course.

After it was all said and done, Bill and Steve survived leading these wonderful divers around and in the process completed their Dive Guide and Dive Master programs. And, we would like to take this opportunity to welcome Bill Fuqua and Steve Soulen to the Oceanic Ventures staff as our newest Dive Masters! Welcome to the team!!!
