New Changes to play in the pool!!!!!

Our Wednesday night “Come Play in the Pool” has proven to be very popular with a wide variety of divers. Every Wednesday from 8:30 PM to 10:30 PM, Northwest Scuba reserves the Strathcona High School Pool, to allow individuals to come in and brush up on their diving skills, try out the new diving equipment that has come onto the market or just exercise those diving lungs and muscles in preparation for the next recreational dive. Our rate is $15.00 + $5.00 if you need equipment. We have devised a new system to try out.
Before you go to the pool come in and buy your chips. We will be handing out chips to get into the pool. They will be colour coded depending on what you need and how much you paid for. If you need just pool time (because you have all your own equipment) you will receive a blue chip and if you need equipment you will get a red chip too. If you have any questions please give us a call or email.

The Open House that happened June 10th was a great success. We had a great time meeting with everybody. We also would like to thank all the companies that donated door prizes (they were much appreciated by us and the people who won them). We hope to see you all throughout the summer months to come.
