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.

We are SO excited about our new store in Annapolis, and we want you to share in our excitement. We thought and thought about a way to make the opening memorable. We came up with an idea that will be, no doubt, memorable!

We are going to celebrate the opening of the new store with a polar bear dive/swim. The store is right on the bank of the South River, with a small beach right out the front door. Come for the first day of business and we'll all 'take a plunge' together!

You can scuba with us, or just do a polar bear plunge for fun, if you're not a diver. We're not really sure what's down there to dive, and it will be cold, but we'll all be there together so it will be fun!

Ring in the New Year and the new Atlantic Edge-Annapolis with us and participate in an unforgettable day of fun.

Where?-The NEW Atlantic Edge- Annapolis Store: 64 Old South River Road, Edgewater, MD
What?-Polar Bear Dive/Plunge to celebrate the opening of the new store
When?-Sunday, Jan. 3rd at 11:00am

If you are diving, we will provide tanks and weights free of charge. BCs, Regulators, and Wetsuits will be available for rental for $10/item.

Atlantic Edge is coming to Annapolis!! On Jan. 4th, we will be opening a new store in Annapolis, right by the Route 2 Bridge in the Liberty Yacht Club (right under the bridge from the Yellow Fin restaurant).

This new store is going to be extremely cool - it is located in the yacht club, so it’s right on the water with great views of the marina and South River. But the very best thing about the new store is that it has a pool! Come summertime we will be able to offer lots of awesome diving opportunities at our very own pool, right next door to the shop!
