WELCOME TO OUR FEBRUARY NEWSLETTER
What's on Tap?
Although our first love will always be diving, we do have other hobbies during our extended surface intervals here in Colorado. Join us for our second annual Scuba Ski Day, this year on "the beach" at Arapahoe Basin. If you need to find an escape from winter, give our travel specialists a call and let them help plan your getaway.
YOU'RE INVITED: 2nd Annual SCUBA Ski Day - March 15
Join One World Dive & Travel for a local adventure on March 15 th for our 2 nd annual SCUBA Ski Day at A-Basin. Look for us at The Beach (naturally) where we’ll be hanging out around table #7.

We'll start our morning with some refreshments at The Beach before the slopes open, shred some gnar, then have lunch where we started. We’ll be on the slopes all day and would love to see you there!

If you don’t ski, you’re welcome to come hang out anyway and work on your tan.

Click here if you'd like to RSVP, but we'll have plenty of room for everyone!

These are all destinations that are friendly for budgets, flights and families.

1) COZUMEL

2) HAWAII
Why: No passport required and multiple islands to choose from, plus plenty of topside adventures for non-divers to enjoy.
 
3) BELIZE
Why: The adventure capital of the Caribbean, there are plenty of fun outdoor activities for the whole family.
 
4) GRAND CAYMAN
Why: There are direct flights from Denver each week, and the beaches are world famous.
 
5)   ROATAN

You don’t have to wait for Spring Break to travel! If any of these destinations pique your interest, contact our travel specialists to set up your next escape.
REFRESH YOUR RESCUE SKILLS
New this summer, update your Rescue Diver skills with a Rescue Refresher. Rescue Diver is a favorite class for most of our instructors and students, and one of the best investments you can make to keep yourself and your dive buddies safe.

Unlike your Open Water dive skills, you probably aren’t using or practicing your rescue skills as often. That’s where our new Rescue Refresher comes in!

This 4 hour class will review and refresh the most important rescue skills so you can dive with confidence knowing you can look out for yourself and your buddies on your next trip. It’s also a great review for divers looking to start the Divemaster Program to make sure your skills are up to specs.

Cost of the class is $60.00.

Prerequisite: Must be a PADI certified Rescue diver or equivalent.

The next Rescue Refresher will be on Tuesday, June 23rd from 6:00 - 10:00pm. Call the shop at 303-220-8282.

Rather have an instructor help evaluate your skills to make sure you're actually doing it correctly? Then our Scuba Refreshers are the choice for you!

SCUBA REFRESHERS ~ If it’s been longer than 2 years since your last dive, then you’ll need a SCUBA REFRESHER. In this four hour class, instructors will share practical tips from their personal experience of diving and jump in the water with you to make sure you are comfortable setting up your gear, controlling your buoyancy and review your emergency skills. The class is offered three times each month, and is often required by a resort if you haven't been diving in a year. If you have been out of the water for longer than 10 years, you will need to schedule this class privately.
