Just a reminder:

This weekend is the Oasis Social at Jillians Restaurant. It's a free event and a great time. http://www.azdivers.com/social_events.html

We are also boat diving from the Diver Down this weekend. Come out and dive with us; visibility is still good and the water is warming up. http://www.azdivers.com/lake_pleasant.html

For those looking for continuing education, we have a Search and Recovery class out at the lake, an open water certification class at the lake and a couple of other specialties. The last weekend of each month is Oasis Divers' lake weekend. We dive from both the boat and the shore. We hope to see you there.

We have a DAN O2 Provider course tonight. It's not too late to sign up. Just get to the shop a little early. http://www.azdivers.com/first_aid.html

FYI - We have an Underwater Photo Workshop next week on the 30th. Sign up soon as space is limited. This event is only $20 and we apply a $20 credit toward your account for showing up. It's practically free!

Thanks for being a part of Oasis Divers!

Thanks to everyone coming out and making it the best social we've had. I don't remember having that many people at one of our social events before.

Jillian's Rocks!!! and so do all our Oasis Divers!!!

FYI - We still have 6 spots left on the San Carlos trip next weekend.
