Posted: Apr 24 in Dive Blog, Latest News by JanRoad Trip! Join Les Fulton at Pennyroyal Quarry in Hopkinsville Kentucky the weekend of May 19 & 20 for our first road trip of the season. Pennyroyal is located about an hour south of Memet Springs so water and air temps should be much better than here. All certified divers are welcome, plus Les will be available to conduct open water training dives for anyone needing to finish class. Let us know by May 5 so we can plan staff accordingly. Tentative plan is to stay Friday night in Paducah Ky and drive the rest of the way to Pennyroyal (about an hour south) on Saturday morning.

Posted: Sep 06 in Dive Blog, Latest News by Jan
Excellent buoyancy control is what defines skilled scuba divers. You’ve seen them underwater. They glide effortlessly, use less air and ascend, descend or hover almost as if by thought. They more easily observe aquatic life without disturbing their surroundings. You can achieve this, too. The PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty course improves the buoyancy skills you learned as a new diver and elevates them to the next level.
During two scuba dives, you’ll learn how to:
- Determine the exact weight you need, so you’re not too light or too heavy.
- Trim your weight system and scuba gear so you’re perfectly balanced in the water.
- Streamline to save energy, use air more efficiently and move more smoothly through the water.
- Hover effortlessly in any position – vertical or horizontal.The first dive of this PADI Specialty Diver course may credit as an Adventure Dive toward your Advanced Open Water Diver certification.

Want to extend your dive season? Tired of climbing back into that cold, clammy wetsuit for a second dive? Then experience the joy of diving dry! The PADI Drysuit Diver Specialty course will introduce you to the skills and techniques of diving with a dry suit. The class consists of one classroom session, one pool session where you will practice such skills as proper weighting, buoyancy control, ascent and descent techniques, and emergency procedures, and two open water dives (to be scheduled later) where you’ll apply the techniques that you learned in the pool. Tuition is $175 plus drysuit manual. Tuition includes use of a drysuit and undergarment for both the pool session and open water dives, and use of a tank and weights for the pool. Pre-registration is required.
