Our Dive Community
When we opened our doors in 2005, we built a dive shop
where everyone – from
families with children to technical and professional divers – could gather
together to meet, discuss diving and make new opportunities to dive.
In our community, dive buddies become lifelong friends.
We seek new friendships with divers and dive shops across
the globe. We share the same sense of adventure.
What is at the center of our community is the one thing that links us together,
the love of the water and the majesty beneath it. It’s where we long
to be, happiest when we arrive, a place where fond memories rest when we leave,
and an underwater world with so much left to explore. Without our waters, there
is no love for the sport, no magical encounters, no coral reefs to admire,
no
caves to explore or wrecks to awe in the depths of our imaginations. Our passion
is below in the swells of the great blue.
There
are several ways you can become a part of the Atlantis
Dive community. Join us today…and bring your friends!

Support
Your Local Dive Store
By Gary Worden
The best
deal in diving is an active and thriving local dive store.
Dive stores are the driving force and center of activity
for our sport, and if they're not supported, they go away.
When that happens, a diver's easy access to good advice
and training, equipment, supplies, air, dive travel, and
camaraderie becomes limited and, perhaps, even disappears.
Everyone
wants good dive prices, but like so many other things,
price is only part of a "good deal." Making sure
that your local dive store is doing well keeps the supply
and communication lines open and ensures that the right
environment exists so you can easily continue to enjoy
the adventures and challenges that recreational diving
offers.
A primary
and crucial dive store responsibility is providing initial
and advanced training in a professional and safety-conscious
manner. With the guidance and help of the various certification
agencies, most dive stores provide excellent programs.
As a diver, you should consider increasing your diving
knowledge and abilities by adding to your basic certification
card.
It's
our hope that Dive Training magazine can also add another
dimension to your experience. As you go through our issues,
take a quick look at the lower left corner of each page.
You'll see six words that present the theme, direction,
and emphasis this publication takes.
"A
good diver is always learning" is not only a truism,
but an attitude that should be nurtured and developed by
every diver, young or old, novice or professional. Dive
Training is intended to help foster and encourage this
attitude. Each monthly issue presents information that
we hope will nourish understanding of diving environments,
heighten interest, suggest concepts, promote additional
training, and stress dive safety. The publication tries
to be realistic and honest in its editorial approach.
In your
early days of diving, learning the basics well is an important
responsibility. Periodically reviewing those basics, and
increasing your knowledge through continuing education
will help make diving a safer, more enjoyable activity.
You and your dive store are vital ingredients in this learning
process. It's a mutual partnership that benefits each of
you.
We hope
Dive Training magazine can be of help to both of you.
