Try Scuba at Peru State College
Husker Divers staff recently conducted a Try Scuba event for interested, students, staff, and faculty at Peru State College in Peru, Nebraska. Thirteen eager participants arrived at the school's beautiful indoor pool facility to don scuba equipment and experience the fun of scuba diving for the very first time.
We heard rave reviews from those who tried diving that evening. Several commented on how incredible it was. Some told us they'd definitely be intere
sted in signing up for the certification course we'll offer there in the spring.
sted in signing up for the certification course we'll offer there in the spring.Another Try Scuba is to be scheduled for this winter, after the holiday season, so that more students and staff from the school can have the opportunity to try scuba diving for the first time.
If you're a student or if you're employed at Peru State, see Dr. Kupper for more information.
We had a terrific time at Peru State College, and we're looking forward to our next scuba session there!

Polar Bear Club
Our first Polar Bear Club dive of the season took place this past Sunday, November 22nd. It was a fantastic d
ive, with visibility around 30 feet. Water temp was 46 degrees, and the air temp was in the low 50s with fog and off-and-on mist.
Divers enjoyed seeing several crappie and largemouth bass. One bass was spotted that really got hearts pumping, as it was a granddaddy-sized fish. A walleye was also seen navigating the depths.
If you are a certified diver and you have a drysuit, we hope you'll join us for our next dive! Stay tuned to our website, http://www.huskerdivers.com/, our Facebook page, or call the store at 402-420-6338 to learn when we're planning the next outing. We hope to see you there!

Polar Bear Club: Don't Hang up Your Fins Just Because it's Cold Outside!
You don't have to hang up your fins for the winter just because it's cold outside!
Certified divers are encouraged to join the Polar Bear Club for a dive on Sunday, November 22nd at 11 a.m. at Broadfoot Lake near Kearney. Due to scheduling conflicts, we didn't get to carve pumpkins in October, so if you'd like to carve a pumpkin, bring one along for this dive! Underwater pumpkin carving is fun, plus it's a hoot to be able to tell your coworkers on Monday that you carved a pumpkin underwater over the weekend.
To become a full-fledged member of the Polar Bear Club, you need to do four dives with the Polar Bears. Once you've met that goal, you'll be able to wear the coveted Polar Bear Club t-shirt and you'll get your name on the Polar Bear Club plaque on the dive shop wall!
Drysuit classes are available over the winter, so if you've been thinking about learning to dive dry, now's your chance. You'll need to pick up the book and DVD in the store. The class consists of the book/DVD, done at home, a pool session, and two open water dives.
Any questions about the Polar Bear Club? Give us a call at 402-420-6338 or e-mail huskerdivers@prodigy.net.
