Bear Lake Dive Along

It's that time of year again!! Time for Dive Utah's Annual
Treasure Hunt/Bar-B-Que at Bear Lake August 16.

The diving
We'll meet at the Cisco Beach State Park. Cisco Beach is located
on the east side of Bear Lake about 9 miles north of Laketown. It
is an altitude dive so plan your dives conservatively. The water is
also a little on the cool side. (Low to mid 60's)

The Treasure Hunt
At 11:00am the fun starts!! Golf balls with numbers on them will be
placed in the lake. Each number corresponds to a prize.

The Clean-up and Raffle
You'll get 2 raffle tickets for pre-registering for the weekend. For
every pound of trash you clean up from the lake or shore, you'll
get an additional ticket. At 2:30pm, we have the drawing for the
prizes.

The Bar-B-Que
$10 will register you for the hunt, get you hot dogs and hamburgers
for lunch and all the air you can breathe.  The bar-b-que will start at
1:00pm.  We’ll provide the meat, buns, condiments and plates.  Bring
your own drink.  We also ask for each buddy team to bring a potluck
salad or snack.

So come out and join in a Dive Utah tradition and a great time. Try
your luck at our underwater compass course!  Take an Advanced or
Specialty class.  Or just lay out and relax.

For more information or to sign up,
please see a staff member or call 277-3483.

Are You Becoming a Diver?

Ask any instructor out there and they can tell you that there is a difference between a person taking a certification class and a person becoming a diver. Taking a certification class is good, it's like taking your first ski lesson and learning the wedge or your first karate lesson and getting your yellow belt, it's good but it's only a start.

After that first ski lesson are you ready for the double black diamond trails? Of course not, you've only just started. So what do you need to do to progress and really start enjoying skiing? First you need some practice, you need to get out there and go. Second, you need to start looking at some proper fitting equipment. Everyone who has used rental ski equipment will agree that while it serves its purpose, it is usually not in the best of shape or the most comfortable. Third, you want to think about another lesson after you have had a chance to practice what you've learned, to build on what you've accomplished and maybe fix some bad habits.

The same is true with diving. We want you to get your black belt; we want you to go down those double black diamonds. We want you to experience all there is to see with diving. And to truly be able to do that, you need to be a Rescue Diver.

Why Rescue Diver? It means you will have logged at least 20 dives. That's the minimum for Rescue certification. It means you've gotten out and dove. It means you most likely will have gotten your own mask, snorkel and fins. Anyone calling themselves a diver needs at least the basics. It's fun to have your own stuff, it's more sanitary and it will make you more comfortable having familiar gear. It means you have your Advanced certification, a prerequisite for Rescue. Advanced means you can dive deeper and in different environments, like perhaps Night or Wreck dives. It opens up new areas that beginning divers aren't ready for. Lastly, having a Rescue certification makes you a better diver and better buddy. It means you can recognize little problems before they become big problems and that makes your diving safer.

At Dive Utah, we call this part of our BAD program (Becoming A Diver). We want you to get the most from your diving. With that in mind we are pleased to offer you the following:

  • Personal Trip Training - tell us where you are going and we will make an information packet for you about the diving at your destination.
  • We have an open door policy for trying out new equipment. You're welcome to try any piece of equipment you'd like in the pool. Even if you're not planning on purchasing anything, becoming familiar with different equipment will make you a better diver.
  • Once you graduate from any class, you're considered alumni. You can come back to Dive utah anytime, grab some gear and jump in the pool to play and practice for FREE.
  • The Dive Utah Bottom Dweller Club - we meet every two months for a meeting at the dive shop and go out twice a month for local diving. Membership is FREE.

Getting certified is good but using your certification is better.

Not certified yet?       Already certified?

AERIS Dive Computers

Important information about the Elite T3 Dive Computers:
AERIS Customer Service has received several Elite T3 Dive Computers that were returned by product owners who experience similar problems with the Buddy Pressure Check feature.  Upon activating the Buddy Pressure Check routine after having previously checked their buddy’s pressure, the previous pressure value was still displayed instead of the message NOT AVAIL which is what should appear on the screen when the buddy is out of signal range when a check is performed. 

After extensive analysis and testing, AERIS programmers and engineers have determined that the portion of operating software used for the Buddy Pressure Check routine contains code associated with the Loss of Link routine that retains the last Pressure reading for a given period when the signal Link is removed. 

AERIS is offering a free operating software Upgrade to all ELITE T3 product owners to eliminate any inconvenience during activities involving Buddy Pressure Checks.  The Elite T3 unit’s software will be upgraded to revision r1c.  This only affects the Buddy Pressure Check routine.  No other features or functions of the T3 are affected.  Only computers with serial numbers below #1197 are affected. 

Bring your computer down to Dive Utah to have the software updated.

Halcyon BCDs

Eclipse BCDRegardless of whether you are diving at 30 feet on a coral reef, 130 feet in a wreck or at 300 feet in a cave, the key elements to diving are the same. Having an enjoyable dive remains the goal while good buoyancy, proper trim, suitable weighting, efficient propulsion and integrated life support are the fundamental skills that support safe and enjoyable diving. Halcyon's Multifunction Compensator, the heart of this unique diving system, is specifically designed to give divers a distinct advantage in these critical areas.

Buoyancy:
The Halcyon MC System adjusts to every type of diving with the selection of the proper buoyancy and weighting system. Buoyancy compensation is available in both Eclipse and Pioneer systems specifically designed to maximize single tank efficiency while the Evolve and Explorer wings offer a range of lift choices and trim characteristics for double tank streamlining.

Weighting:
The MC System incorporates the use of detachable and non-detachable weight, adjusted specifically for each diver. The stainless backplate provides six pounds of non-detachable weight evenly disbursed across the diver's back. Alternatively, divers may choose the aluminum backplate when additional weight is not necessary.

The Halcyon ACB Weighting System now comes in sizes ranging from 12 pounds (six per side) to 30 pounds of detachable weight while V-Weights and Keel Weights are available for additional weight customization.

Trim:
The Halcyon MC System controls trim through the combination of weight distribution and stability offered by the 5-point Secure Harness. Removing weight from the waist not only prevents a sore lower back, but also shifts the center of gravity up to the central torso and facilitates a streamlined horizontal profile in the water. Proper trim is essential to reducing swimming effort and gas consumption, making dives easier and more enjoyable.

Propulsion:
The Halcyon MC System is designed to significantly reduce the effort required to move through the water not only by establishing proper trim, but also by reducing drag on the diver.

Merely doubling the surface area of one's BC results in a resistance that is four times as great and requires nearly sixteen times more energy to move through the water. The Halcyon MC System reduces drag by minimizing the diver's frontal area, resulting in greater efficiency and ease of diving.

Life Support:
The MC System provides divers with an integrated life support solution that accommodates a variety of emergency and utility lift devices. Signaling, lifting, and surface flotation can be stored "transparently" within the MC System Storage Pak.

The Halcyon Secure Harness allows for infinite adjustability, providing a perfect fit for all divers and diving systems. Men or women diving wet or dry will find the Secure Harness is without question the most stable and well-fitted design in the industry.

  • Five point system insures snug fit and eliminates tank roll and drift
  • MC Storage Pak provides "transparent" storage for alternate lift and signaling devices
  • Bent D-rings facilitate one-handed storage of accessories like Scout lights or stage bottles
  • Complete adjustability of D-rings eliminates inappropriate attachment points

 


New Stuff That’s Not So New

Roatan Report

Jim recently returned from leading a group down to the Caribbean island of Roatan. They stayed at Anthony's Key Resort. Anyone who has been knows that Anthony's is famous for their dolphin dives. They offer a snorkel experience and an open water diving experience. We had groups do both and have the video to prove it! During the snorkel portion, they learned to give different commands and have the dolphins push them around by their feet. Underwater, the dolphins showed great patience as they poised for numerous pictures with our divers. It was truly a wonderful experience.

On the surface, they had strung about 15 different zip lines through the trees near the resort. The group enjoyed an afternoon of zipping from platform to platform and tree to tree. Some of the group also enjoyed exploring the island on scooters.




Belize Report

During the first week of April, Dave led a group to Belize. They stayed in San Pedro on Ambergris Caye at Aqua Marina Suites and dove with Aqua Dives. They had great weather all week and enjoyed seeing sharks, rays or turtles on almost every dive. In the middle of the week they took an all day trip out to the Blue Hole and Lighthouse Reef. It was a very interesting dive seeing the stalactites below 110 feet. The night dive in Hol Chan Park was incredible. They saw sharks, rays, eels, lobster, crab, octopus, squid, big grouper and tarpon. Not bad for a dive that was no deeper than 25 feet!

One of the highlights of the trip was the golf cart rally! They rented seven golf carts and the whole group took off for an adventure. They crossed the small ferry and drove north a few miles to the Land's End Resort where they spent an afternoon on the beach, swimming, snorkeling and sailing.



Cozumel Report

For the last week of April, Dave led a group to the Mexican Isla of Cozumel. They stayed at the Hotel Cozumel and dove with Dive Paradise. You can always count on great drift dives in Cozumel and this was no exception. The deep walls are always the best dives and they dove Palancar, Columbia, and Santa Rosa. Choppy water one day kept them off the walls but they dove the C-53 shipwreck in stead. The second and third dives on the day were on the shallower reefs.

The Hotel Cozumel was nice. It has a beautiful pool/courtyard area and nice beach access. A few members of the group enjoyed their day off of diving by taking the ferry back to the mainland and journeying inland to the ruins Chitazen-Itza. Other than a few cases of Montezuma's revenge, a great time was had by all.



PADI ERDP

PADI has just released the long awaited Electronic version of their Dive Table. It is very similar to a calculator, easy to use and less than $25. You can finally forget how to use the tables (which many students do) but still plan your dives safely.

Come down and check it out today!

 



2004 DEMA Report

In October the dive industry had their annual trade show, the DEMA show. This year's event took place in Houston. The DEMA show is always a lot of fun giving dive retailers the chance to see all the latest and greatest.

This year was unique since a number of the big manufacturers choose not to attend. Scubapro, Oceanic, Sherwood, Genesis, Akona and others decided individually not to exhibit for a number of reasons including the timing of the show and the location. They also cited decreased attendance as a reason however they caused an even bigger decrease by not going.

In years past, Dive Utah would take two to four people from each shop but this year Jim was our lone representative. He reported that the show was definitely smaller with a lot less attendees. However since there was less people he did enjoy more face to face time with the various reps and travel people he met with.

Another Busy Summer!

With the fall approaching we can take a minute and reflect on the busy summer we had at Dive Utah.

The summer officially starts with swim lessons. Heather Goldston and Liz Galeria returned again to teach and were joined by Brendan Duffy. They did a great job with capacity classes. Demand was so great we added an earlier time to our schedule. We averaged 64 kids every two weeks for a total of over 360 students. We also had lessons with preschools as children from East Side Preschool and Kids Cottage came over a few times a week. Small classes and great instructors were the reason parents actually lined up to sign up their kids with Dive Utah swimming.

We had our Annual Treasure Hunt/BBQ at Fish Lake this year. Over 60 divers braved cool water for a chance to win prizes and had a great time doing it. Our grand prizes, a Scubapro regulator and an Aeris computer were won by Dave Quinn and Ray Smith respectively. A special thanks to Steve Palmer, Robert Jensen and Bill Mueller for all their help with the event.

We traveled a bit this summer as well. Thirty divers joined us on our annual summer trip on the San Diego based live-aboard "Horizon." They enjoyed great, sunny weather and calm water conditions on their voyage to and from the Channel Islands. Around the islands they saw kelp, and giant black sea bass as well as the usual Southern California suspects. In late August we sent 16 divers over to the other side of the world for a week long live-aboard on the "Aqua One" in Bali and then sightseeing in Thailand. As you can imagine the divers were pampered with service on the boat and enjoyed the sights including seeing Komodo Dragons in Bali.



Best Wishes to Sam and Lindsey!

Everyone knows Sam down at the shop. Sam Smith has been with us for the last few years working a few nights a week and on Saturdays. He has found a bigger love than diving and got married June 12, 2004 to Lindsey Ready.

We wish Sam and Lindsey all the best!




Good Luck David and Judy!

Two more of our instructors have listened to the siren song that is living and working in the tropics. It stared a few years ago when Eric McDonald set sail for Maui. He and his wife Karen are still there and diving. Eric works with Rainbow Divers and has worked with a number of referrals we have sent him. Last year Whitney Plevin took off for Grand Cayman. She works with Capt. Don Foster's and is still loving diving every day.

Earlier this month, David and Judy Brown, both PADI Instructors headed over to Oahu. We were sad to see them leave but wish them the best of luck in their move.



Busy summer of local diving!!!

We have had a busy summer local diving. We had our annual Treasure Hunt/BBQ and a Spear Fishing Contest.

Treasure Hunt/BBQ
On Saturday July 26 over 50 divers met at Blue Lake for some fun in the sun. The air was about 95° and the water was 84°. Most divers didn't wear any suits (except bathing of course!). Visibility was really good most of the day. Of course, the bugs were around, but everyone had a great time. We had 150 items donated to our Treasure Hunt with a retail value of over $4500. The grand prizes included an Aeris Computer, a Scubapro regulator and a DiveTek BCD. There were 3 ways to get goodies. Numbered golf balls were put out in the lake that corresponded to smaller prizes. (#15 is still out there, there is a prize for whoever brings it in!). Bigger prizes were won by raffle tickets which were given out when you brought in some garbage.

We had over 8 large trash bags filled with stuff from around the parking lot and lake. Divers who dived at the Crater during a special week in May and at Seabase during a special week in June were eligible for a special Scavenger Hunt prize. We had about 15 people who participated in that.

We also had the Carbon County Search and Rescue Team helping out with their 6 wheel-ATV's. Travis and Frank helped take gear and divers back and forth from the lake. Grateful divers made donations to this non-profit group and rose over $200. A special thank you goes out to Bill Mueller and Bill Huefner for all their help with the Treasure Hunt and BBQ.

Spear Fishing Contest - Two weeks later we co-hosted a Spear Fishing Contest at Fish Lake with Sporasub, a spear gun manufacturer. We started with a Spear Fishing Seminar at the dive shop on Thursday August 7 presented by Steve Blackburn and Wendall Nope from Sporasub. We had a good showing of over 15 divers interested in learning more about spear fishing. The contest took place on Saturday August 9. We had over 30 divers take part in the fun. The categories included Biggest Game Fish, Biggest Trash Fish and Most Trash Fish. A BBQ took place afterwards. A special thanks goes out to Bret Hiner from Dive Utah for helping out with the BBQ and to Mike McGuire from Sporasub for all his work and help in setting up the event.

Congratulations Mike and Haize!



Baby Noah

There must be something in the water at Dive Utah! Our extended family has grown a little more. Dave and Teemarie have had their third child. David Noah Mohowski was born August 3, 2003. Noah weighted 7 lbs 14 oz and was 21 ½ inches long. His big sisters London and Summer love having a baby around though Noah can sometimes use a break from all the attention.

Congratualtions Dave and Teemarie!



Scuba Rangers !!!

Now at the Holladay shop, kids ages 8 - 12 can become Scuba Rangers!! This great club was the first of its kind and has pioneered the way for younger kids to develop a love for the ocean and for diving and snorkeling.

"This is a great way for kids to get involved with diving and be able to do what mom and dad love to do," says Dave Mohowski, manager of the Holladay shop. "The class teaches the basics of diving and then the club activities allow them to try all sorts of different specialty dives in the pool. Plus they get cool materials, log book, t-shirt and c-card."

For details check out the Scuba Rangers on our Classes Page.

[The Scuba Rangers classes are only offered through the Holladay store. The Ogden store offers the PADI Seal Team. Please call the Ogden store, 801-394-8842, for more details.]



Fun at Blue Lake
with the Dive Utah Divers!



Congratulations Dr. Hyde!

Robyn Hyde, one of the Holladay shop's Assistant Instructors, recently finished her doctorate in Chemistry at the University of Utah. Dr. Hyde is currently teaching at the U in addition to teaching two nights a week at Dive Utah. Way to go Robyn!!



Rocky Goes Diving

Dive Utah recently got a chance to get a little political. We were approached by I-15 Magazine about taking Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson scuba diving. The Mayor was taking part in over ten different events in a single day along the Wasatch Front. The day started with scuba diving up at the Homestead Crater with Jim.

"Rocky was a little rusty but got right into it," said Jim. After a quick dive at the Crater, the Mayor was off to the Winter Sports Park to take in some colder fun.

Look for the article in I-15 Magazine soon.



Not quite ice diving, but brrrrrrrr, was it ever cold!

Dive trip at Blue Lake Nevada

1 Million $$$ Question
Do dive trips include anything else? You Betcha! See our Costa Rica pics.


How I Spent My Summer Vacation

For the second year in a row, Dive Utah - Holladay hosted the Kids Together Day Camp for a day of fun and a chance to try scuba diving. Over the course of five hours, Instructors and Assistant Instructors helped over 70 kids and a few counselors, experience first hand, the excitement of scuba.

This was also the first year for kids under 12 to try diving. Recently SDI, PADI and other training agencies lowered the minimum age for training. With PADI's Bubblemaker program, now children age 8 and up can try scuba in a pool with those over 10 being able to actually get certified.

"These kids were great," remarked Dave Mohowski, Manager and Instructor at Dive Utah, "they listened well, paid attention and everyone had a great time!"

To turn your child into a Bubblemaker, call either Dive Utah location for details.

See more pictures.
