We Have a New Staff Member-Matt Portland


Have you meet Matt Yet? Our newest staff member has a pretty interesting background!
Matt spent most of the late 90s volunteering in Australia's wildlife parks, zoos, public aquariums and oceanic research stations. After working in the reptile house at our National Zoo, Matt spent time in the Galapagos. He returned to start his own business installing and maintaining custom aquaria. New to the dive industry, Matt is working at the shop and hopes to complete his Divemaster training by the summer and soon thereafter, become an instructor. You will find Matt working most days in Gaithersburg.

Atlantic Edge Dive Trip -Group Dives Devil's Den in Florida


Last week during our Manatee trip our group stopped off to dive Devil's Den, one of North America's most prehistoric places, Devil's Den -- an underground spring inside a dry cave in central Florida. The remains of many extinct animals from the Pleistocene Age (2 million - 10,000 years ago) were discovered at Devil's Den, including the bones of early man, dating back to 75,000 B.C. The pleasant year-around temperature of 72 degrees in the Den allows comfortable diving, winter or summer. On cold winter mornings you can see steam, like smoke, rising from the cave's chimney. Hence, the early settlers called the place Devil's Den.

You'll find open water and cavern diving at its best & will be fascinated by the rock formations with stalactites and 33 million year old fossil beds, truly a natural wonder.

What a cool location!

Wow! Can you believe it? We have been open in Annapolis now for 3 weeks!
Lots of old timers have stopped by, who either moved into the area over the past 15 years or were traveling to Gaithersburg to shop with us. We have also had many new divers also stop by and look around. (Take a look at this view from our Sales Floor)
If you haven't been by our new Annapolis location yet, make sure you do. It's a great place to walk around. Cars are always stopping at the store just to take pictures of the South River views. We also have a real nice restaurant on location-YellowFin-with great happy hour specials.
