Throughout May we will be running Open Water Diver classes with a view to getting students ready to complete their check-out dives aboard the Great Lakes Diver on weekends in June and July.

This month, if you are already a certified diver and you refer a student to us you can come out and dive with them on their last two (of four) check-out dives… for free! Alternatively, if you are a student of ours and have a friend who is certified, bring them along on your last two (of four) check-out dives… for free!

Either way, we introduce new students to the underwater world, you gain a dive buddy, you get a free charter worth $95, our instructors get to teach classes out on the wrecks in Lake Huron, and everyone’s happy!

Costs will be as follows:

We will probably visit three wrecks on these trips—all TBC although the third will be a shallow last dive/snorkel to suck the tanks dry! Deeper dives will most likely be on Sunday.

If you are camping, we will figure it out when we get there. Sites are $22 each per night for 2 people and only $3 for extra people…

Happy New Year! We hope you are all keeping warm and are not missing compressed air too much! The Third Coast Divers and Michigan Lake Diver’s Association are keeping very active over the winter, with lots of river diving going on. Get in touch with their members if you would like to get some winter dives in too.

We have just launched our new online store, we have lots of new stock in our real store, lots of used rental equipment on special and several trips planned for later in the year, so we hope to see you soon!

This month we are most excited about our ice diving class and the Great Lakes Shipwreck Festival – see below for further details. Later in 2010 we are looking forward to our April trip to Costa Rica, getting The Great Lakes Diver back in the water (and our early season trip to Thunder Bay) and The Ultimate Diver Challenge on the beautiful island of Cozumel during July. Don’t be a stranger!

The 2010 Great Lakes Shipwreck Festival is the Ford Seahorses Dive Club’s 29th and promises to be a great day. Advance tickets are $15 and we have a few available to us (for in-store pickup only).

We especially like them when they come with a carry-case and a quality Sherwood Oracle mask (blue only, sorry) at a bargain price: Bruno’s Bendy Snorkel Kit – $44.99.

Everything that you would ever need (almost, maybe?!) for looking after your SCUBA gear (let’s face it, it was expensive and so you should look after it) in one handy bag: Bruno’s Gear Care Kit – $24.95.

Two designs, two t-colors w/ Bruno’s Dive Team on the sleeve: Bruno’s Dive Team Great Lakes Diver T-Shirts @ $19.99.

A season’s worth of dives for $750! Provided you are certified, you could come out every trip – that’s four dives on Saturday and three on Sunday every weekend for 4-5 months (weather dependent). Do the math; it’s a substantial saving even if you only come out four weekends! If you have a big thick wetsuit or even a drysuit you could rack up a whole bunch of dives over the summer. Become a Great Lakes Diver!

OK, I think we’ve got the shop figured out now. We will (slowly) be adding more products. Our aim will be to have products online that are either on clearance or as part of a special package. Keep checking back!

Welcome to Version 2.2! This one is all bells and whistles, including an online shop so that we can give you lots of special offers, which we’ll get to grip with imminently! We hope you like it and all constructive criticism is welcomed (that’s how we got here)…
