Hi DUI,

I wanted to share a couple of pictures of my daughters. We took a trip to Monterey this summer and enjoyed it to the say least. While there, we visited the Monterey Bay Aquarium that has a program for the kids called Underwater Explorers which engages them in a 3 ½ hour program that consist of instruction, introduction to the SCUBA gear, a dive, a nice hot drink, debrief and pictures. This trip was special for my youngest daughter Elizabeth, because she doesn't like to get her hair wet. My oldest, Mary-Lynn, wants to get certified soon. This experience gave them a hands-on opportunity to see and touch the underwater world first hand and only encouraged them more to get involved in the sport of SCUBA diving.

Trish, their dive instructor, who was kind of wild was perfect for my wild ones. She was very engaging, safe and always looking for an opportunity to share some secrets. The water was calm and 30 foot visibility and an invigorating 50 degree's. The girls were warm and toasty because of the drysuits that DUI has provided the program. In fact Trish had a tough time getting the girls out because they had so much fun! Dad on the on hand froze topside while waiting for their adventure to end.

I think that this program is the best thing money can buy because not only did they have fun but, they came home with a lot stories to tell and learned a lot in the process. Thanks in part to the Monterey Bay Aquarium for the instructional staff and DUI for providing a special drysuit for our future divers. As a DUI owner myself, I appreciate the fine products you provide making diving safe and comfortable.
