Wall-o-Spearguns!


It's been a busy few months around the shop and we've been neglecting the blog. So, lets kicking things off with the newest addition to the shop-- WALL OF SPEARGUNS!

After a 6 months of testing we've decided to bring in a select line of guns and travel spears from A.B. Biller. A.B. Biller offers very high quality hand made guns, great warranty support and wide selection of construction materials from entry-level stainless to competition-grade single-piece teak, all at very attractive prices.

Give you're an underwater hunter come by and check them out!

Installing flooring!

Amid a veritable plethora of off-color "wood" jokes we started installing our new flooring.

We've discovered is takes a lot of beer to install a floor!

Step #1 of the moving: DEMOLITION!

With sledge hammers in hand we started going to work on reconfiguring our new space today.

Before:











Paul says, "I bet I can kick a hole in the wall!"



Barbara says, "Nice hole, but what the hand prints from?"



Raj says, "This is taking too long, I'm getting the truck..."


On to step #2!

We're moving!

Many of you have heard rumors the last few months that we're moving, well it's now official: We are moving this month!

The new space is located just 1 stoplight away on Martin Ave @ De la Cruz and will (among other things) double our retail floor space. The whole crew is very excited about the new space but it'll require a lot of work to get it ready.

Don't worry we'll be blogging all the hijinks that goes into moving a scuba shop!

Shasta, the dog, passes on


It's very sad day for the shop because our beloved shop dog and dive buddy of 12 years has passed on. We'll never forget her eagerness to get in the water at Monastery in any weather and her "Please throw my squeaky hedge hog" look around the shop.

Shasta, we love you, we miss you and we'll always remember you...
