Meet Notmy!

The new SCT (Shop Cat Trainee)

Notmy has been hanging around the shop for six weeks now.  Whenever she peeped out from under Cindy’s deck, PJ would frighten her away and yell “it’s not my effing cat” (hence the name). We finally coaxed her out from under the deck with the promise of spaghetti meatballs.

Sunglasses? Notmy is Notsure!

She has some sharp little fangs

It took us two weeks to convince PJ she’s a keeper. Now they are best friends.

Hobbies include: Drinking milk, befriending customers in return for food, Stalking PJ around the shop, fighting with Boomer (Steve Vincent’s puppy), playing with ropes, and cleaning herself.

We will get her diving soon; we’re just looking for the right wet suit!

If you have the regulator and wet suit we’re looking for please mail to:

In other shop news, Mark Walch has joined us from Austria to start his PADI Divemaster training. He was last here in June 2011 when he completed his PADI Open Water, Advanced Open Water, Emergency First Response, Rescue, and Nitrox certifications.  He hopes to find a Sea walnut (a type of comb jelly) in the upcoming weeks.

Zach Durden has joined us from Florida to complete his PADI Open Water to Instructor certifications (zero to hero!).  He dove for the first time on Saturday and loved it.

Our boat Potlicker will be at the dry dock next week for some love, attention, and a new coat of paint. Don’t panic, we will still be diving off our other boat Wish U Were Here.  The water is still warm (29°C/ 84°F) so come join us for some more awesome diving!
