Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! Here we are, quickly approaching the end of 2018. I think some people are excited and some people might be a little sad. But this chapter is almost written and we start with a blank page 12:00 a.m. January 1, 2019. Does that mean that you are ready to write your first day in to 2019 as a SCUBA diving entry? Don’t forget that we have the New Year’s Day Dive coming up quickly. And if you don’t want to dive into the water, at least come to the lake and socialize with us. We don’t bite, unless it’s food.
New Year’s Day Dive
If you are planning on diving on New Year’s Day, these are some things you want to remember to bring:
- A dry suit or heavy mil wet suit.
- hoods/gloves/dive socks.
- Extra weight.
- Your swimsuit if you’re wearing a wetsuit.
- Fins, SCUBA Tank, Mask, regulator, BCD.
- Be sure to call if you need to rent a wetsuit, SCUBA tank, or BCD.
- Something warm for after the dive including your towel to dry off with.
- And of course don’t forget your appetite.
Other Unfinished Business
Even though there are still 4 more days left to this year, I can tell you the top 10 blog posts this year. We’ve laughed at the number 1 blog post many times this year. It’s not that it’s a bad blog post, but I’m here to tell you there was No other contender with this post. It has been fun watching the blog posts unfold this year and I think we’ll continue this next year just to see what blog posts continue to thrive and share with you.
