FUN DIVE WEEK AT GYPSY!
We are in between swim lessons right now, so this week - Sept. 2 through Sept. 5, is FREE SCUBA PLAY in the Gypsy Pool.
We're open until 8PM. Feel free to come in any time this week to play with your dive gear in our pool.
All we ask is that you're out of the building by 8PM. No charge. This is for fun and because we can.
(Small rental charges will apply if you need tanks or other gear. Don't forget your C-Card!)

Announcing...

Peter Hughes Liveaboard Night
at Gypsy Divers Friday, Sept. 12,
starting at 7PM

Featuring
Peter Hughes rep
Terri Huber
and her Awesome Underwater Images

Come get involved in a delightful presentation by our favorite Peter Hughes rep Terri Huber. See why so many Gypsies enjoy liveaboard diving. See what destinations are looking good for 2009 and 2010. See amazingly beautiful images of all things under the ocean, as captured by Terri herself!

Gypsy will provide beverages and light snacks. Terri will provide an amazing presentation. YOU provide yourself and any friends you care to bring.

And, as a fun incentive and just because we can, we'll have a free drawing for a
$500 Peter Hughes liveaboard gift certificate that night.

Be There!


Here's a September Note from Dave

We're now taking SCUBA Ranger sign-ups for the fall and winter!

Here's the details on this way-cool kids pool SCUBA club.

We're also having a dive-n-dog day at Fantasy Lake on Saturday, September 27, for our former-Rangers-who-are-now-certified and their diving parents.

Here's the details from Mr. Joe.


Whoa - Look who won the gold at the Lake Rawling DiveFest Aug.22!

The happy divers are, from left - Cory Bryan, Peter Kaufman Kathe Kaufman, Elis Lopez, Dawn Tiyoweh, Randy Cramp, and Louie.

They won everything you see in the photo - tanks, BCDs, regulators, fins, lights, masks, gauges, wetsuits, etc. etc. at the annual Lake Rawlings DiveFest - an obviously hugely enjoyable event featuring a daytime treasure hunt and an evening scavenger hunt.

Way to go, team! And our sincere thanks to the Lake Rawlings people for hosting such an enjoyable day.

Give a big welcome to our new Gypsy DiveCons!

After months of grueling work, interminable extracurricular assignments, boatloads of apprenticing, and lots and lots of swimming, not to mention constant harrassment drills and rigorous testing, seven new Gypsy DiveCons are ready to be introduced to the world.

From the left - Jim Johnson, Nathalie Richard, Michelle Owens, Leah Zullig, Mike Tove, Randy Cramp, and Dennis Zullig.

Serious congratulations, team, on a job well done.

Trained, Prepared, Equipped, In Position, and Ready to Respond.


The BEST way to learn to dive!

Gypsy Divers Now PROUDLY Offers
FREE SCUBA LESSONS.

And yes, there's obviously a catch. But we think it's an awesome opportunity for folks who knows they want to become active divers. Here's the details. Check it out -
Given what we've learned in the last 25 years about active SCUBA divers, we think this makes sense.
If you like it, share it with your not-yet-diving friends. They ought to thank you.
Here's Dave's take on this.
