we have been involved with the Upper
Deschutes Watershed Council and their
annual river cleanup. Divers assist with the
cleanup of our local waterways. We also
do organized clean-ups at our local lakes.
To date, there have been tons of debris
collected from these waters.
Along with a retail shop to assist with snorkeling and scuba gear, we also
carry many handy accessories. Our focus in the past few years has also been to
educate the community on the importance of using water-safe sunscreen and hair
products. We carry a wide variety of these products as well. Plus, you can bring in
your scuba gear for annual servicing.
