Hi Jessica,
The only shops that I know about are in Sacramento and in Reno. The Sacramento shop is Dolphin Scuba and the person to talk to over there is Patrick. They are a PADI and have very good deals (I guess that's a relative statement
) on drysuits. On the other hand, if you are going to be in the Reno area, give Rich a call over at Adventure Scuba and he'll fix you right up. They are a NAUI shop and Rich is one of the owners and is a great guy. Last thing you can do is buy a drysuit and tell them you want a drysuit course thrown in. If they won't do that, just take a drysuit orientation and find yourself some very experienced "drysuit divers" to show you the ropes.
I hope that helps,

There was a dive shop in South Shore, but when I tried them last year, they were closed for most of the winter. I forget the name of the shop. Sun Sports Tahoe?
Here is a link with some details and shops listed.

We got an instructor through one of the Reno Shops, but I forget which one. (how sad is THAT?) I think that it was Sierra Diving Center, but I am not 100% sure.
Hard for me to dive up there in the winter with all the white stuff on the ground. (12 days skiing so far; limited by injuries)

Hi Susie,
I just checked the date for the X-Scooter demo day and it's on 3/12/05. If you want a bit more info, please feel free to PM me and I'll be happy to help. You can also get some info by going to www.dive-xtras.com and clicking on "Demo". I can tell you that scootering out to Rubican is about the only way to go. We'll be up there a bunch this year as well as other part of the lake where scooters are really necessary.

Can you rent scooters for diving? I'm going to try to come up this summer but don't want to buy one just for Tahoe. I wouldn't need it off the beaches where I am.

You may be able to find a LDS up there in Tahoe or in Reno who rents some sort of scooter. The only place that I know of who rents anything worth while is "Manta Ray Bay Dive Center" down in Monterey. They rent Gavins, but they are expensive and I don't think they rent to just anybody. I would just call around and see who rents them.
