at Haigh Quarry.
Be sure to come in to Scuba Systems to reserve your rental gear.
Pick up the gear on Friday. When you pick it up you will check it to make sure everything is there that should be, that your tanks are filled and the regualators and BCD work properly.
We recommend you stay overnight at an area hotel.
We will complete 3 dives today and one tomorrow. Then you can start on your Advanced Open Water and Specialty classes.
By taking the Dry Suit Diver Specialty class prior to the weekend, you will be able to do these dives in a drysuit. Then you complete one more dive in the drysuit and you receive your DrySuit Diver Specialty certification as well. And that also counts towards your Advanced Open Water class. And towards your Master Scuba Diver Certification!
