Exciting addition to Indonesia trip!

Posted on March 21, 2014 | Leave a comment

We got some very exciting news yesterday; during our stay at the Lembeh Resort this July, two of the region’s most experienced underwater naturalists will be there also. It’s Fish Geek Week, and we couldn’t be more thrilled about that! Gerald Allen and Mark Erdmann will be there from July 18 to 26, 2014 and will be conducting a number of presentations, as well as being available for questions, dives, and general hanging out.

This wonderful opportunity comes at no cost to us, so take advantage!

Emergency First Response Instructor in the house!

Posted on January 1, 2014 | Leave a comment

One of the best things about being a scuba diver is that there is always more to learn. At Atkins Scuba, we are firm believers in continuing education, and that includes for ourselves! At the DEMA show in November, Kari took some next steps and became an Emergency First Response Instructor Trainer. This means that in addition to being able to teach you the provider course and work on your EFR skills, she can now make you an instructor, ready to teach your own students! It was a fantastic experience, and it feels GOOD to keep learning!

Hello! As we noted in this post, we’re currently in Cozumel working with our beloved Blue Angel Resort to make the Blue Angel Scuba School a vibrant and exciting training venue.

We’d love it if you’d come visit, and to make it easy for you to do that, along with some like-minded diving friends, we’re putting together two group trips in 2013.

Check out these details, and when you have questions send us an email!

Thanks to our friends Amy Walczak and Warren McKay for their support in poster-making and photographs. Amy is a self-proclaimed dive junkie; you can read her fantastic blog here, and check out Warren’s photo blog here!

Congratulations, Open Water Divers!

Posted on August 29, 2011 | 1 comment

Summer in Alberta is a beautiful time of year, and by August, Narrow Lake has warmed up considerably! We headed there last week to complete the Open Water dives for a family of four, and it was a fantastic two days in the water. As we learned in class, if the ears don’t clear, call the dive and come back another day; it was a little disappointing when one guppy had some trouble equalizing on the last dive, but we’ve rescheduled her for the first week in September.

Congratulations, Allaries! You did a great job!
