Sand Tiger Shark on the SPAR                    One of many Lion Fish on the wrecks

 

Due to the oil spill in the gulf we have changed our August destination from Panama City Beach to North Carolina.

 

The cost for the trip will be $420.00 for a diver and $185.00 for non-diver which includes 3 nights accommodations - Atlantic Beach and 2 days of 2 tank boat dives with Discovery Diving.  We will check-in on Thursday August 12th, dive Friday and Saturday and check-out Sunday August 15th.  Dive package will include tanks.  You are responsible for having everything else or renting it from Discovery Diving.  There is an additional up-charge for Nitrox, please let us know if you are interested in diving Nitrox.

 

Due to the late booking with them we are limited on the number of spots available for the trip.  Please contact us if you have any interest at all in the trip so that we can get a list started.  We will need payment in full by Saturday July 31st.

 

****Please note there is a $20 increase per person from our original pricing for this trip as we have chosen a different hotel and the increase is for the additional room cost. However, the hotel also offers a continental breakfast that was not included at the previous location and this hotel is located on Atlantic beach not near it!!

Time:    8am - 4pm  at Blue Meridian

             (new game starts every hour)

 

For:       Carl H. Oliver Scuba for Charity Foundation

 

How does it work?

Divers pre-register at the store - pick up their donation envelope and select the time they want to play.  Each diver plays for 1 hour with 3 other divers.  Participants try to collect as many donations as possible with the minimum to play being $25.  Prizes are awarded based on your total donations at time of check-in, the more you collect....the better your prizes!!

 

Lunch is provided to all participants as well as games, music and guaranteed fun!!

 

All donations collected at this event will be combined with the monies raised at the annual Treasure Hunt in July and the Chickens for Charity sale in September.  The money will then be distributed to our selected charities for the year.  

 

It's easy, it's in Owensboro and it's fun...so why not play Monopoly underwater so that.....

Tri-States Only PADI Dive Center

 

PADI

 

The Professional Association of Diving Instructors

 

People come from all over the tri-state to dive with Blue Meridian.  Why is that?   Because they know our staff loves diving and it shows, because we teach PADI and because we are professionals!  Scout troops from Evansville & Owensboro, college students and law enforcement officers from Bowling Green and Tell City and families and singles from all over pick Blue Meridian for their training facility!  

 

Why?

Because they know Blue Meridian has the tri-states most experienced and professional instruction staff.  Others boast of their experience and their certification numbers...but the years of Professional experience we have on our staff are out of their reach.  Remember, we are here for your enjoyment, your safety and your peace of mind!  Every class we offer is an opportunity for you to get the best training the tri-state has to offer.

 

We value each customer that comes through our door. We understand that with the economy in a strain, you have to make important choices on where you spend your hard earned money and we appreciate the opportunity to give you the best value for your dollar.  Please do some homework....compare prices...there is a definite difference and unfortunately there is no added benefit for you paying almost double at other locations.  A business has to make money to survive....on that we agree....gouging our customers to do it....not at Blue Meridian!

 

We offer you the

highest quality training 

backed by the 

most reputable training agency in the world 

taught by the
