Underwater Connection Scuba Blog

Another satisfied group of Girl Scouts Discovered Scuba at Delafield today with our own Lynn Kramer and Scott Groenwoldt....talk about a bunch of happy campers! Way to go girls!!

Congratulations to Evan, Casey,and Kaycee for completing their classroom and pool work with Ken Kessenich this past weekend. We really enjoyed having you with us, and hope to see you again soon! Be sure to let us know how your open water dives and vacations went! Safe Diving!

This past Saturday, the Delafield store was pleased to host a Discover Scuba session for the Girl Scouts of Troop 2003...looks like they had a great time. Thanks to Lynn Kramer for showing the girls the wonder of scuba.

If you're looking to retire that old, worn out gear, now is the perfect time to do so....we have teamed up with Oceanic to bring you a way to get new gear and get cash off the purchase. Simply bring in your old gear, and we will give you a cash allowance towards the purchase of new Oceanic gear. Regs, BCDs, computers, octos are all included. There are some restrictions, like we don't want gear that should be in a museum, nor do we accept any type of wetsuit under this program. Stop by any of the three stores for more details. Get some new gear for the upcoming travel and dive season!

Just got this via e-mail from Kira:

Colin,
     Just an update on the trip.  All went very smoothly.  Diving was
great!  We had our own boat for the 6-7 divers in our group.  Totally
cool to have our own boat for such a small group!  We just hung out
at the hotel on Wed. which was extremely nice by the way, all newly
renovated, 2 outdoor pools, sandy sunning area, bar, etc.  The hotel
was away from the crowd of downtown and very quiet, pretty much empty
when we were there.  So, we almost had the hotel to ourselves as
well!
     

We would like to send our congratulations to Frank Brotz of Sheboygan for completing his Assistant Instructor Course with Colin, our PADI Course Director. Frank performed admirably on all his presentations in the classroom, pool and open water evnrionments. Frank will be teaching at Silent World Dive Center in Shegboygan.

Congrats also go out to our own Carl Lange for completing the requirements for the PADI Instructor Development Course Staff Instructor Course. This prestigous rating will allow Carl to independently certify Assistant Instructors, as well as present and evaluate presentations at PADI Instructor Development programs.

Way to go guys!
