Beneath the Sea

Happy April! Spring is definitely in the air and today it looks like it is going to show its’ face finally. I’m almost ready to put my skis away and start thinking about going under (water, that is). Beneath the Sea was very productive for me. I met a lot of people, made some good contacts and added a hooded vest to my dive gear!

Here are a couple of shirts that might get you in the mood to go diving. You can find them at the Dive Humor section of my shop Wear My Dive Art!

Beneath the Sea this Weekend

Ahoy all you scuba divers! Happy Tuesday. For those of you in the New York area, this weekend is Beneath the Sea: The largest consumer dive show. I can’t wait to go and check out all the new stuff this year. If you haven’t been it’s a great way to meet other divers and get information about gear and destinations as well as the opportunity to buy at great discounts.

I’ve added another t-shirt to my growing online dive t-shirt shop. This one is a cute cartoon of a Pirate with the words “Captain Jack’s Scuba Shack” “Walk the plank and dive!” You can check out the styles and other items available with this design at Wear My Dive Art! or, at my other shop on Zazzle.
