On Scuba Diving and New Years' Resolutions

Let's face it, everyone spends a little time thinking about resolutions for the new year, even if your resolution is to never make another resolution again (which is still a resolution, for clarity's sake). I say, why not make resolutions? You can choose to make some outrageous goals and then get fed up midway through January, sure. But you can also set some reasonable goals for yourself and make sure you're leaving room for the pursuit of things you enjoy, instead of just going by the standard "cut out sweets, work out daily" formula.

Don't let this happen to you!

This is also a great time of year to take a look around and see if you can save some money on those hobbies you might like to pick up in 2013. Take scuba, for example. We are running a great Winter Special on our Open Water referral course portion; you can check it out at this link, or call our store to get more details or set up your class over the phone. If you haven't tried it, or if you're certified and you'd like your friend to become your new dive buddy but aren't sure if they'll like it, suggest a Discover Scuba experience in our pool. For $40, you can try it out in our warm indoor pool with an instructor and, if you decide you want to get certified, we can credit that $40 towards your Open Water class.

When you're done with the classroom and pool portions, you can check off another resolution (take a Caribbean vacation; that should be on everyone's To-Do list this year) and finish your Open Water dives on any one of those amazing Caribbean dive sites. Or, you can wait and dive with us this summer in the quarry. We're in thicker wetsuits, but we still have a lot of fun!

Maybe you're already certified. Resolve to dive Lake Michigan, or join us on a local trip. Get your next level of certification. Dive dry, or try it at DUI's Demo Days. We have as many "resolution" ideas as you have blank spaces on your list, so give us a call today and get ready for a great New Year!
