FYI:
So after 2 beautiful weeks in the Bahamas we came home Saturday to torrential downpours, tornado warnings and a lot of standing water...all over! A bunch of that water decided to stand in my store! We got flooded pretty bad from rising water all around us so we are in the process of cleaning up but please give us time to get things dry again. We love water but not on the floor!!!! We will try to reopen on Wednesday but will let everyone know if we need another day! Thank you for your understanding!!!

Quote of the Month:
“There’s nothing like a sunny day in July to remind you of how wonderful life can be.”
Want to Discover Scuba?? We offer a free scuba tryout session called a Discover Scuba. We can let you try scuba diving before you make the big commitment of the certification class. We highly recommend a Discover to anyone who is not quite sure that diving is for them. We need about 1 hour of your time, we provide all the equipment you need, there is a little bit of paperwork but best of all it’s FREE!! So, what are you waiting for, call us and set up your appointment to try scuba diving. We think you’ll love it as much as we do!!!
