Med-Red Trip
" The Med-Red trip, a term we developed to describe this fantastic dive excursion, is generating a lot of excitement. 'Med-Red' means that we will be visiting and diving both the Mediterranean and the Red Sea in a single trip.
It seems so obvious now looking at a map but we think this is the 1st Med-Red Group Dive Trip ever organized! Because of all the special activities planned, we can accommodate only a small group and already have several firm reservations. Call us with any questions.

Simply put, this dive trip will combine the best diving of the Mediterranean with the best diving of the Red Sea PLUS last-based tours of both Ancient Greece and of the even older Egypt - the Egypt of the Pharaohs."

In a recent, world-wide on-line survey of divers, Scuba 2000 was rated as one of the best dive facilities in the world. We can now display the Diversclick Award logo on all our literature. Thanks for your support.

A hard shell case, like the Pelican case (indestructible) is the preferred method of carrying your expensive camera gear. These cases offer the greatest protection for traveling and on the dive boat. They are lifetime guaranteed, fully water and pressure proof, they float, they fit under an airplane seat and they hold your complete system plus lots of extras.

Two things that I always take with me on a dive trip are a mesh bag and a dry bag. The mesh bag makes carrying my gear on and off the boat much easier. The travel bag is just too big and cumbersome to fit on many dive boats easily. It also makes rinsing my gear a heck of a lot easier! I can dump the whole bag in the rinse bucket (or resort pool - shhh!) and carry it back to my room without having to unpack and pack! Once back to where it will spend the night, I can unpack it to dry. The dry bag is a life-saver, especially on a wet, windy day! I know I will have a dry towel and dry clothes no matter what the weather is like.

Nothing makes you look less professional than being sloppy or poorly dressed. If you are hoping to gain your students confidence and respect your personal image will certainly help. First impressions go a long way! Your image won't cover up a poor attitude or poor skills but it will certainly get you off to a good start.
Most training facilities have a 'uniform' that identifies you as staff and provides the consistent, professional 'look' that they would like to present to students.

Skills and Safety - by Diana Stanborough PADI Master Instructor
We've talked about this many times already but once again, you can't check your equipment enough! A thorough buddy check can save you embarrassment or much worse. Divers tend to give their buddy a once over by simply looking at everything. That's not enough. Can you tell by looking at your buddy if their air is actually turned on? Can you tell if the low pressure inflator is attached correctly? Test everything! Too many times divers enter the water without having their air turned on!

Did you know that it's easy and inexpensive to be able to see clearly underwater? Most brands of masks have 2 or 3 models that allow for prescription lenses! With the store assistance you can choose one of those models (one that fits you well), leave us your prescription and we will order and install the new lenses. Your lens may be in stock or at most, a wait of a few days. At Scuba 2000, we even give a lifetime guarantee so if your prescription changes, you don't pay for new lens. Easy!
