Discover Tec Pool Experience

Wed, 01 Feb 2012 11:57:10 -0600

Technical diving...all that strange gear, different configurations, different skills...I wonder if I would like that...?

Come join us for our Discover Tec Pool Party!

Our technical divers are offering up their equipment for you to try in the pool! Never wore twin cylinders? Never carried a deco bottle? Never wore a backplate? Now is your chance to check it out for yourself!

We will meet at the Underwater Connection in Menomonee Falls at 5pm on Saturday, March 31, to finish any necessary paperwork, load the gear, and head to the pool. There you will get a chance to try on different sets of technical gear. Our Technical Instructor, Michael Haynes, will also be there to answer questions, help with the gear, and if you would like to try some of the skills from the PADI TecRec courses, Mike will introduce you to those as well.

Space for this event is very limited. There will be a $5 registration fee to hold your spot. This registration fee will be refunded to you in the form of a $10 gift certificate to the Underwater Connection (as long as you show up!)

Call 262-251-8283 to reserve your spot now. Or you can email Mike at mikehaynes@uwconnection.com if you have any questions or concerns ahead of time.
