How to stay active in the winter
Ok, it's winter. Nighttime lows are in the single digits. You want to go diving. Now what? Here are some options:
  • Go on a trip! Check out the awesome dive trips that Dive Utah is running.
  • Enjoy a dive at one of Utah's unique warm water dive sites: Belmont Springs, The Crater, Sea Base or Blue Lake. We're really lucky to have warm water diving here in the mountains.
  • Take a Scuba Tune Up. A quick review of the academics and a skill refresher in the pool.
  • Take a class: Project AWARE, Equipment Specialty, PADI Oxygen Provider or maybe the new DAN Dive Medicine for Divers program. All will help keep you sharp and expand your knowledge and skills.
Coming in February:
* Emergency Oxygen Provider. This is a great course to learn more about Oxygen First Aid for diving accidents. You don't have to be a Rescue Diver and you don't need current CPR/First aid (though it is suggested) to take the course. Any diver can take it.
* Equipment Specialty: Learn more about your equipment and how it works. Look at some cool toys like hand held sonar/depth meters and DPV's(Diver Propulsion vehicles).
* Project AWARE: Want to know more about the underwater world? This is the place to start. Learn about coral reef ecology, ocean and freshwater ecosystems and how we're impacting them.




Congratultions!
Congratulations to Jared and Joe for completing the DAN DEMP and BLSPro programs. Joe also completed the new DAN Dive Medicine for Divers program. These are the guys to have as dive buddies: healthcare-provider level CPR and extensive knowledge in treating dive-related injuries.
Congratulations also to the trainers at Boxing is for Girls, the staff and physical therapists at Pinnacle Performance and the seismic analysts at the University of Utah Seismograph Stations for completing the Emergency First Response CPR/First Aid program.

Think you can't dive in Utah? Think again! Utah has some very unique dive sites. Blue Lake (in Utah, you just drive through Nevada to get to it) and the Crater (Homestead Resort, Midway, Utah) are both geothermal dive sites that provide unique dives you can't find outside of Utah.
