Hello Friends and Happy 2012!

We had a wonderful 2011 dive season – made a ton of new friends and had some very good times; made some great changes in our shop, including the addition of a coffee bar where you may enjoy a cup of coffee, tea, hot chocolate or chai. And terrific staff has revamped the layout of the shop (again) so that our classroom area is larger while retail items are placed more logically with related items.

We now have a dedicated camera case with all new cameras and camera equipment, as well as all new rental cameras. And you will love our new line of camo bags! Our newest line of boots is Deep See. Soon our new wetsuit line will arrive and you will be pleased to learn that we will offer you an excellent product available in either one piece or two piece options.

We have a permanent discount table where one-offs and discontinued products are for sale at huge discounts. We now offer a monthly special! Our January specials are an Oceanic life support package or a Sherwood life support package, each value priced at $995 and our Waterproof brand D1 dry suits. We will continue to carry the D1, but will offer it as an "order on demand" item.

Last February, we started a very successful dive club with a tremendous amount of skill and diversity within our membership. We shared excellent adventures during the dive season and beyond. All divers and their significant others are welcome to join the dive club. Dues are $25 per year. If interested in joining, please send your $25 per person dues in a check made payable to Lehigh Valley Dive Club to Lehigh Valley Dive Club, c/o Sue Mendes, P.O. Box 91, Northampton, PA 18067.

If you want to have your equipment ready for the 2012 dive season, now is the time to get everything into the shop for your annual service. Be proactive and avoid the 6 to 8 week backlog that we have when all the equipment comes in the door during the same couple of months!! Don’t forget that we have about a 10 day turnaround for hydros!

COMING SOON!!! A new web page for our site!! In the near future, we will add another page to our website where we will offer for sale some of our gently used dive shop items for fabulous discounts. If you are a new diver who does not want to spend big bucks until you decide exactly what you want or an experienced diver trying to save a few bucks on something in great condition, try our site first.
