(06/08/09) Nothing Stops Us — See for Yourself
August 21-22, 2010: Even though the Gulf is open again, we will continue to use Alabama Blue Water Adventures for training until the weather turns cold. ABWA provides great opportunities for continuing education dives such as navigation and deep diving. Watch the video and check out the photos from our latest ABWA trip. We also plan to certify open water divers from the boats in Panama City once the weather changes. (08/27/09) More Panama City Wreck Diving!
September 24-26, 2010: The Gulf is back — and so are we. After seeing how fast our Labor Day trip sold out, we scheduled yet another trip to the Panhandle’s wreck diving capital, Panama City. Great wrecks, great diving…and no oil. You won’t want to miss this. Save money with post-season pricing. Act now. More… (08/27/09) Cozumel Trip Photos Posted

Subgear XP-10: A full-featured dive computer for well under $300? Absolutely. Now there is no reason why every diver can’t own this vital piece of dive gear. Dive any mix from air to EAN50. Upload data to your PC with optional infrared interface. Truly the dive computer for everyone. More… (07/15/09) New Trip! Truk and Palau
November, 2012: This is a two-week, once-in-lifetime diving adventure, during which we will visit not one, but two of the Pacific’s most famous dive destinations.

No Scuba Needed: United States Apnea Association (USAA) is pleased to announce that Erin Magee of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, set a new United States Womens Freediving National Record while holding her breath and swimming with her mon-fin to a depth of 233 feet. The dive took two minutes, eighteen seconds to complete. (06/04/09) Great Reading
Cindy Recommends: If you’re in a slump and cannot get motivated, stop by the dive shop and pick up the book Shadow Divers. “In the fall of 1991, weekend scuba divers made a startling discovery: a WWII German U-boat. All the world’s history records denied the likelihood of the sunken U-boat’s identity. A team of divers set out to solve the mystery with evidence.” It is a story told by those who were there, those who dived and saw and touched this bit of history. Be entertained and educated but watch out, you could be motivated to get back in the water. Oliver’s Tour of Duty
One Brave Little Monkey: Throughout Chelsea’s 50-day stay in the hospital, her constant companion was a small but courageous bundle of fur and stuffing named Oliver. Yet, on the day Chelsea left the hospital, Oliver mysteriously vanished. Had he been kidnapped by terrorists? No. Oliver, it seems, was on a mission. More… (03/31/09) We Take Social Saturdays Up a Notch

November 21-28, 2010: Consistently rated among the top three dive destinations in the Caribbean, the island of Bonaire is renowned for its aquatic life, soft and hard corals — and some of the best shore diving on the planet.

A Glimpse at Diving’s Past: Harry’s Dive Shop has a library of textbooks, magazines and catalogs from the earliest days of diving. One such publication is a 1961 Healthways catalog.

What happens when you take a standard styrofoam mannequin head, such as the one shown in the Shrek hood, to a depth of 10,011 feet, tethered to the outside of an ROV? You end up with a shrunken mannequin head, like the little guy in the corner. This very literal example of Boyle’s Law is on display now at Harry’s Dive Shop. Stop by and see it.
