Yes, we used the hashtag 'fish fact friday' but we're going to enlighten you with all kinds of underwater facts, not simply fish facts. After all, what if we have a fun fact about a crustacean or a mammal?

Fun Fact: Many of us divers are familiar with a thermocline, but did you know multiple other clines exist too? For instance, a halocline is where fresh and saltwater meet but don't mix. Even more curious, a chemocline is where two different chemicals also meet with minimal to no mixing happening.

Now, the coolest part, the three clines we have mentioned, thermocline, halocline, and chemocline, can sometimes be found and experienced in a single dive site. The cenotes in Mexico are examples of dive sites that have all three clines in one location.

An unlikely home with unique neighbors.

It's time to test your knowledge. This time, we're talking about the ancient beings who still swim among us.

This Friday, August 21st, we are teaching a multi-certification course. Join for the morning, afternoon, or all of the above. Call to book. (614) 500-7234

The PADI Equipment Specialty Course will teach you how to resolve equipment issues when they happen and maintain your gear to ensure issues happen less.

The Cylindex Regulator Service Technician course is a hands-on experience teaching you the fundamentals of regulator mechanics & service.

And finally, the Cylindex Cylinder Assessment Technician (C.A.T.) course is a HAZMAT, DOT, and OSHA compliant training for the safe inspection, oxygen cleaning, and valve maintenance of high-pressure cylinders.

Who should take these courses:

Dive pros. All three courses benefit dive pros, from instructors to shop staff. Understanding the intricacy of scuba equipment gives you an edge over other professionals and applicants.

Tech divers. The equipment demands of technical diving are extreme. Ensure your understanding of maintenance and governmental compliance are sufficient by continuing your training out of the water with these courses.

Dive shops. Regulator service and cylinder visual inspections are a crucial operation for a successful dive shop. Each of the Cylindex courses is an industry accepted certification that gives your customers confidence their equipment is serviced by the best technicians.

Divers looking to expand their expertise. Regardless of certification level or experience, any diver will walk away from these courses with a better understanding of the equipment they rely on.
