  • Beach front property

If you have not had a chance to come by the Tri-State beach, swing by and put your toes in the sand. Originally, the beach was going to have 4 cubic yards of sand. We decided to make it 8 yards. Love that sand in between the toes. Come check out the only beachfront property in Fairfax!

The Cincinnati Sports and Boat Show was wonderful this year.  We want to thank everyone who stopped by and talked to us, and everyone from that Tri-State who participated in the show.   It is always fun to talk diving in the winter! 
For those of you who missed our great trip to Roatan in January, we have an opportunity in June.  We had 15 spectacular dives, including some personal favorites “Spooky Channel”, Lighthouse Reef” and 2 fantastic wreck dives, the “Odyssey” and the “El Agulia”.   Not to mention the Zip Line Treetop Canopy Tour – WOW!  Please see our travel page for details.
Big News!  We are now carrying a brand new product from the British based company Fourth Element – a neutrally buoyant 3 mil.  Joly had the opportunity to get some of the first product shipped to the US and tried it on our last trip.  Joly said it was comfortable, dried quickly and truly had no buoyancy characteristics.  It is also very light weight for travel!   Please stop in and take a look at this unbelievable technological break through in wetsuits!
