The August 28, 2010, dive a long on Sail Boat Beach at Deer Creek Reservoir was a FUN and yet a little bit of a challenging event. We had strong wind gusts (up to 45 miles an hour at times) all day long. Congratulations to the divers completing their Drysuit Certification Class conducted by Brian Snow – Instructor, and students Katherin and Todd), and with the other divers who attended the fantastic Spear Fishing Safety Clinic the night before, conducted by the Jake Zoun at Neptune Divers. Due to the high winds, multiple divers trying to hone in on they’re newly acquired skills, and the multiple boaters abreast, I must say I was EXTREMELY IMPRESSED with each and every diver who had taken the extra time and safety precautions to ensure it was a safe and enjoyable diving event. Most only did one dive due to the high winds and low visibility, and as a result we spent a lot time just getting to know each other better, which in my opinion is really what made this day so great. Mark, you are always welcome to join any of Neptune Diver’s dive a longs and planned trips, it was a pleasure meeting you and hope to see you again soon. Great job everyone and thanks for coming out.

We have a great opportunity for you to try out spear fishing this week. Stop by the shop on Friday night at 6:30pm for a Safety class and then join us on our August dive at Deer Creek on Saturday to try out the Mares spear guns. Those that have tried it have really been enjoying it, and it adds a little adventure to your local dives. If you end up enjoying yourself you can join the Rocky Mountain Spear Association tournamant coming up in September.

You will need a fishing license to spear with us on August 28th at Deer Creek.

21 divers made it down to St. George to dive Sand Hollow Reservoir. All 21 agreed it was well worth the 4 hour drive (8 hours for Bill) The reservoir is made for diving: The red sand at the beach makes a beautiful and easy entry, an underwater obstacle buoyancy course, a VW bus, and a sunken plane. Visibility was 15 – 30 feet. Maximum depth for the group was 50 feet. Temperature average was 75 with a thermo cline at 35 feet a 3mm full suit is the perfect thickness. Everyone in the group dove 2 very long dives. The only thing better than the diving was the socializing with great friends. Thank you everyone for making this Dive-a-long so much fun.

We took a group of 30 to Belize and stayed at Ramon’s Village. One of the first things I noticed was that the staff was the same as our trip three year before, right down to the guy that picked us up at the airport. The accommodations at Ramon’s are fantastic, the rooms are clean and covered with grass roofs. The restaurant has a great menu and provided some great meals for our all inclusive meal package.

Diving could not be more convenient, the dive dock is located right off the beach of the resort. Dive lockers are there so you can leave your dive gear close to the boat. Morning daily 2 tank boat dives and optional afternoon dives give you ample opportunity to see the dives of Ambergris Cay. Each time I have been to Belize I am impressed with the Nurse sharks, usually when you see them it is one and they are laying under a ledge. Here you jump into the water and are often greeted by 3 or 4 swimming around, and often join you on varies parts of your dive.

We will definitely be back for another week with the great staff of Ramon’s Village.
