Complete List of Featured SCUBA Gear – 2017

Posted on by Posted in Scuba Products

Does anyone else feel like we woke up yesterday and it was January 1st? Now here we are 5 days until Christmas and 13 days from January 1st, 2018. Ask me how many times it took me to type 2018… Yikes.

This year we’ve featured a lot of SCUBA products. Today we thought we’d take the time to break the products down into categories, but also make them easily accessible from one post. That way you can quickly compare items if you are debating between a couple.

At the end, we also included our Get the Look post in case you wanted to know who to talk to about a specific piece of gear and why they chose that piece. Obviously, come into Extreme Sports SCUBA and we can talk to you about the gear with you, but sometimes you want to go straight to someone and say, “Hey, why did you choose that?”

Please be sure to check in next week as we have an announcement of something to come in the new year. You don’t want to miss it! Until then, please have a very Merry Christmas and enjoy your one stop shop for all things SCUBA.

Get the Look – Mark Willoughby

Posted on by Posted in Scuba Products

So, who is still running on the tryptophan-induced coma? Who knows what a tryptophan-induced coma is? Well, tryptophan is what you get when you eat turkey and supposedly it is associated with sleepiness. Since we just celebrated Thanksgiving, that means that if you ate turkey you had tryptophan. Okay, I believe the word you might have been looking for is…. anyway….

Here we are, the last Monday of the month. Holy cow! But you remember what the Last Monday of the month equals, right? If you guessed a Get the Look post, you would be correct. If you didn’t guess that, then you didn’t read the title… just saying. This month we’ll learn how Mark Willoughby dives. Without further ado, I give you Mark. I should also joke that when I was getting his list of dive gear, he told me to read Grady’s stuff to him since they dive similar gear.

Christmas Wish List – Dive Gear Packages

Posted on by Posted in Scuba Products

We wish you a Merrrrrrr… Oh wait, we haven’t even had Thanksgiving yet. Bring on the Mashed Potatoes, Stuffing, and Turkey-induced coma. By the way, it’s tryptophan if you’re wondering what supposedly causes that.

But two things….

  1. While we haven’t had Thanksgiving yet, it’s next week.
  2. It’s always good to start planning for Christmas early so you can make sure all your i’s are crossed and your t’s are dotted… or something like that. Basically, so you don’t forget someone on your list.

And as you may or may not know, Scuby just got back from DEMA and he has some great things to add to someone’s Christmas wish or Christmas gift list. He wanted to share with you today these great packages so that you are all geared up and ready to go come the New Year’s Day dive (or whenever your first dive of the year is, obviously).

Extreme Product Feature – Regulator and Instrument Bag

Posted on by Posted in Scuba Products

Can I just point something out that might make your skin crawl? Did you realize that next week is Thanksgiving? How about this… In 6 Monday’s it will be Christmas Day. That means 6 weekends until Christmas. And while we shouldn’t rush things and we should dedicate the month to what it is… the Turkey’s Day (also known as reasons to be thankful), it’s not a bad idea to start planning those Christmas presents. Just an idea anyway.

That’s why it gives me great pleasure to tell you about this really cool item…

So, here’s a fun thought… When you buy a piece of expensive gear, why wouldn’t you want a bag to protect it? This protects a vital piece of equipment that helps you experience the underwater world.

Extreme Product Feature – SCUBAPRO Rash Guard Shorts

Posted on by Posted in Scuba Products

Guys, did you realize that we have 7 weekends until Christmas. 7. That’s it. SEVEN. And I swear, someone pressed the fast-forward button on 2017 because we’re quickly spiraling faster and faster into the New Year. It’s really pretty crazy.

And while this is November, the Turkey’s month… It’s never too early to start making out that Christmas list. The more you spread out your buying of Christmas gifts, the less your pocketbook will scream at you. Just a thought. You’re in luck, today I have just the item that I’m adding to my Christmas list.

Extreme Product Feature – Twin Jet Fins

Posted on by Posted in Scuba Products 1 Comment

Okay, who is responsible for turning on the Air Conditioner outside… Brrrrr. Yesterday morning, I thought I was going to freeze if I didn’t blow away! Dang. Today I looked at the weather forecast… A high of 70, a low of 50. Not terrible, especially this time of year. Tomorrow looks a little better in one aspect and a lot worse in another. Huh? High 78 = GOOD! Low… 38. Friday’s low 32. Saturday’s low… a whopping 29. Holy COW! I guess we are approaching the end of October and moving into November. Your Halloween forecast is a high 76 and a low 59.

I’m just proving I can be a meteorologist. If I get it wrong, you can’t be mad at me. Haha. Just kidding… I think. We had a busy weekend and I hope you were able to join us. Saturday night was the Newton County Christmas for Kids 5th Annual Chili Cookoff. It was a load of fun. The weather acted like it was going to be terrible, but it didn’t hit until around 11 pm, after we were all said and done.

Sunday was the 20th Annual Underwater Pumpkin Carving. That storm that blew through Saturday night brought a cold front. It was supposed to be clear and sunny on Sunday but at the lake, the weather had different ideas. We’d be lucky if we hit 60˚F and it drizzled most of the time. Just as we were packing up, the sun decided to come out and warm up a few degrees.

So that’s what’s been happening around here… how have you been?

Today we’re going to focus on a product that is near and dear to my heart… The Twin Jet Fin. Why near and dear to my heart? Well, I used yellow ones for Scuba classes/certification check out dives. My first ones were pink. Then I switched to black. Yes, I have dove with other ones but these are my go-to of choice. But I’m not the only one… When you go on dive trips, you’ll probably notice people do things to make theirs stand out to them. Mine have Christmas colors on them because well, I like Christmas… haha. But let’s not focus on me and let’s focus on the Twin Jet Fin.

Finally, we’re cooking up something extra special and fun for January.
