Deadeye on Mac's Wreck - Photo Credit Dave Tonneman

After a long weekend of diving Mac, Jim and Darrin talk about diving some more. Summer may be mostly over but still plenty of scuba diving yet to do. Jim is now up north doing more diving. We wish we were their with him. Maybe the bad scuba joke will hold us over for another week.

Mack, Jim and Darrin cover Scuba in the News. There was a distracting movie with an actress and a shark... we think there was a shark. Lake week's lake 16 dive. Also the bad scuba joke of the week.

"While the outdoor recreation industry is on the road to recovery, the economic recession has had a lasting impact on the marketplace. Consumers are more demanding and discerning with increasingly higher price/value expectations. We believe, traditional "SCUBA" stores focused on a single, narrow market channel are highly vulnerable when compared to our multi-sport concept store: Brownie's Adventure Centers. "

" The initial concept BAC in Boca Raton, Florida will feature all types of industry leading dive equipment, training, activity coordination, and services along-side a world class SUP compliment. Free-diving, Surface Supplied Diving, Yacht-Diving, Technical Diving, Science and Exploration Diving equipment, training and practice are rarely featured at traditional "dive shops" but will be optimally presented in the BAC creating a much broader potential revenue base. By expanding the audience of outdoor enthusiasts, such as paddle boarders, we will have the opportunity to introduce our core products (surface supplied air) to a new and broader audience. "
