Happenings and What's Going On

Husker Divers had ten Boy Scouts from an Omaha troop complete a Scuba BSA session in the pool on Sunday evening, July 5th. The guys had a great time, and they earned a patch they can wear on their swim trunks. Congrats, guys!

Husker Divers has three new Medic First Aid/CPR instructors. This class is for everyone, not just divers. If you or someone you know would like to take a first aid/CPR class, let us know at 402-420-6338 or at huskerdivers@prodigy.net. Class times are flexible and can be scheduled on evenings and Sundays when the store is closed. Divers, you should know that First aid/CPR certification is required for Stress & Rescue certification.

Our second Bull Shoals, Arkansas trip leaves this Friday. Those who were on the first trip reported 35-40' visibility, and the vis should be just as good for this weekend's trip!

If you haven't visited DAN's (Divers Alert Network) website in awhile, or if you're not yet a DAN member, be sure to check it out. They've added a number of fantastic benefits for members, including free online workshops and travel info. It definitely pays to be a DAN member!

Don't forget to sign up for SSI's 2009 Master Diver Challenge! To be a Master Diver, you need to have completed four specialties plus Stress & Rescue and have 50 logged dives. The next Stress & Rescue/Search & Recovery classes will be held in conjunction with our open water weekend in Kearney the last weekend in July. We'll also be offering these two specialties at the September open waters. Any time we're in Kearney, certified divers are welcome to join us to log dives and/or complete specialties. Just let us know in advance.
