 Our
anniversary week was a great success thanks mostly to the wonderful divers
who came to celebrate with us. We would like to thank everyone who
participated and thank the staff for the extra work they all did. There were
a lot of Nitrox tanks moving around!
Jon Wilkins from Rex Dive Center introduced a few of his best
clients to Dive Provo and we enjoyed them all.
Most people took advantage of the free upgrade from a 2 tank to
3 tank dive and lionfishing brought out the beast in even the meekest
people. 
Congratulations to Michelle Lapin who bagged the most,
she definitely got the hang of it and by Friday had racked up a total of 31
fish winning the coveted award of a large as life beaded lionfish - much
less smelly than the real thing!
A closeish second was Tom Coester with 8 fish and the
Darwin award goes to David and Carrie (last names withheld to protect
their identity) who tried hard but just aren't as smart as fish. At least
David won a very useful roller bag in our prize draw.
We ate the catch at the BBQ and although we also had burgers and chicken the
lionfish was the most popular dish.
 
Owner's Alan and Clare Jardine were on food detail. Alan was
the grill king and Clare made her famous lionfish pate. We are still
both dreaming about lionfish!
Thank you to Janine Freisberg for the lovely birthday
cake which we forgot to take to the party but are managing to scoff our way
through in the shop.
A big thank you to Jim Hart for his daily video tidbits
(many are posted to the Dive Provo facebook page and should be viewed!! ) 
We hope Paul Johnson is very proud of himself for the
dramatic improvement he made with his air consumption.
After yoga tips from Jim and Michelle he learned to
relax in the water and go with the flow.
It was wonderful to have so many repeat divers; Gerard and Nancy Meyer,
who have been visiting for many years, took advantage of the special to join
us this week, and check out the picture of Gerard smiling.
Joe Gagnon, another regular, dived every day and still
managed to keep his girlfriend hidden from us. Some divers were only able to
join us for some of the time, Mike Sangster, who we love, had to
leave before the BBQ, but we'll see him again next year.
 We
would also like to thank the companies who donated gifts for the prize draw
- Aqualung, Deep See, Henderson and Innovative Scuba Concepts.
Lucky prizewinner Sam Van Hoelte now has a new BCD
courtesy of his lovely wife who doesn't dive.
New diver Tracey Broom won a pair of pink fins, so will
now have to coordinate the rest of her dive gear purchases.
Max and Jennifer Kawlath (nicknamed the beautiful
people), newly certified with us, were both very lucky with the raffle
prizes. 
The Roys and Hastings, our lovely mannered group from
the South, also did well in the prize draw and Jonathan (Jon) Roy
was the grand prize
winner, winning Free Diving for Life.
This trip was his graduation gift and this lovely young man is
off to study engineering in college. His dream is to become a divemaster
after getting an education so we expect to see a lot of him in the future.
If anyone has photos we haven't seen feel free to e-mail them

you had as good a time as us.
