 Winter is really here!  Makes me appreciate going away on my dive trips even more!  Bonaire was great, as always. While you were having a snow storm here, we had just finished two incredible dives and were headed to the bar (sun was too hot to lay out in!).   Our London/Maldives trip March 3-15 is now FULL!  This will be my 3rd trip to the Maldives in 2 years, I love it that much! Full also is our Cayman Brac April 2-7 trip, however, we may still be able to get more space! Let me know ASAP if interested..  All other trips are wide open! A non refundable $500 deposit will be required to hold your spot. Please let me know if you are interested in any of the above trips. Info on all of our trips can be found at www.orbitmarine.com/trips.


Leading groups every month to these warm, sunny diving destinations is what keeps me as happy as I am, year round!  Here at Orbit Marine, we're busy getting our customers ready for their trips with new gear, equipment service as well as making trip arrangements for them!  If you'd like us to quote you on any future planned travel, please call or e mail me. I'd be glad to have my agents do some foot work for you. Not to mention that if I book it for you, the shop get's a small kudos instead of some unknown web planner.  We can use all the business we can get and we're happy to work hard for you! So give me a shot at planning your next trip. Not to mention some great 1st hand suggestions I can give you from personal experience!  That's priceless!
Space is always limited on all of my trips, so please contact me as soon as you think you might want to go. Note that many of my trips are long weekends, so you don't have to take too much time off from work!  Why not take several of our trips a year?? Remember...."I'm going with or without you!"
JUST BECAUSE WE HAVE A WEAK ECONOMY, IF YOU ARE STILL WORKING, EARNING A LIVING AND CAN AFFORD TO DIVE....JUST DO IT! I NEED YOUR MONEY, THE DIVE INDUSTRY NEEDS YOUR MONEY, THE DIVE RESORTS NEED YOUR MONEY
AND YOU NEED TO HAVE SOME FUN!
WE WILL MATCH ANY ON LINE AUTHORIZED DEALER'S PRICES. PLEASE SEE US BEFORE YOU BUY ON LINE!

A message from me, your local bricks and mortar retailer. If you plan to shop on line, please give me a call so I can compete for your dollar. I work hard to provide service, air fills, advice, education and travel and I deserve a shot at a sale!  More than ever, your local retailers really care about you and need your support!  I will match any authorized on line dealers prices!


BAIT AND TACKLE NOW AT ORBIT MARINE!
FISHING CHARTERS, TOO!
We may not be the biggest or the best, but we have the common baits, local tackle and competitive prices!
OPEN ALL YEAR!

Winter basic dive classes will be offered every two weeks! PADI EFR (Emergency First Response) and SDI/TDI Nitrox  will be offered on an as needed basis. I just signed up three people for our new PADI Divemaster course. We will be running classroom and pool  sessions Dec & Jan, with open water dives beginning in May. If you are already Rescue certified and want to move up the ladder in your training, Divemaster is for you, assuming you want to achieve a leadership certification.   Let me know if your are interested.

Our PADI Rescue Diver course will begin in April '10 for classroom and pool sessions. Open water dives will begin in late May through June for completion. Anyone with Advanced or equivilent experience can join the Rescue program. More info will be posted on our "Classes" link.

I f you just want  to  expand your knowledge, then Master Diver is the rating you want. Just complete 5 specialties and you've got the rating. I will be posting specialty courses on our  "Classes" link for more information. I've got the boats, the staff and all of Long Island Sound to make local diving a pleasure and you don't have to drive or fly anywhere! Unfortunately, we'll have to wait until Spring to do the specialties locally.
                                      SCUBA DIVING IS A GREAT FAMILY ACTIVITY!  AGES 10 AND UP!

GOING AWAY THIS FALL/WINTER? THINKING OF GETTING INTO DIVING? LOOK INTO CLASSES..NOW!  WITH WINTER WEATHER ALWAYS AN ISSUE, DON'T WAIT FOR LAST MINUTE COURSES BEFORE YOUR TRIP AS DAYS/NIGHTS ARE CANCELED DUE TO SNOW/ICE CONDITIONS! FOR CLASS INFO, PLEASE CLICK ON "CLASSES" ON MENU. IF YOU DON'T SEE WHAT YOU WANT, CALL OR E MAIL ME: 1-800-395-DIVE (3483) OR orbitdive@aol.com.

We're stocked and ready  to sell you anything you need for diving! I know it's a temptation to just buy on line, but supporting us, you local dive center, insures we'll be around to service what you own. We will match any authorized on line dealers prices. Call me for details! We need your business and I hope you need us!

BRING YOUR GEAR IN NOW FOR ANNUAL SERVICING!  WE ALWAYS GET SWAMPED ONCE SPRING ARRIVES PUTTING A STRAIN ON OUR SERVICE TECHS TO GET YOUR GEAR BACK TO YOU WHEN YOU NEED IT. PLEASE GIVE US AT LEAST A MONTH LEEWAY FOR SERVICE TIME AS DIVE COMPANIES MANY TIMES ARE OUT OF NEEDED PARTS.  TANKS NEED ANNUAL VISUAL INSPECTIONS AND 5 YEAR PRESSURE TESTING (HYDROSTATIC). AGAIN, DON'T WAIT FOR OUR BUSY SPRING RUSH!  DO IT NOW WHILE WE'RE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF YOU ON TIME!

If you can't make any of our trips, please give me a chance to organize your own dive travel. We are wholesalers for many resorts, so I might be able to save you a few bucks over published prices and allow me to make a few pennies and kudos on commissions instead of some on-line agent.  I'd be glad to put together your own group trip and maybe include it in my trip list!


Our new theme for our 2009 travel program will be..."Go Diving...Grow Business!"  Many of my travel clients own their own businesses. It's not uncommon for these folks to actually gain more business while networking with fellow trippers.  Professionals in all fields have benefited, so why not you?! Lawyers, Doctors, Hair Specialists, Dentists, Building Contractors and more have reaped the benefit of this new way of meeting potential clients while enjoying the sport they love. I don't know the legality of deducting the trip cost if business is derived from the trip, but I'm sure it's a BIG possiblility!!  Give it a try.  Click on "trips" on the menu for more info on what's in store for '07!

TRIATHALON & OTHER WATER SPORTS WET SUITS & ACCESSORIES NOW IN STOCK!  WE'RE NOT ONLY FOR DIVERS!  WET SUITS FOR ALL WATER SPORTS UNDER ONE ROOF. CHECK US OUT!

It's no secret. The dive industry, like many sports, loses more than 50% of it's participants in the first five years of involvement. I'm doing my best to give you a reason to keep diving and enjoying this facinating, easy to do, activity.  After 35 years in the business and 45 years of diving, I still love that first splash of every dive!  I never know what's in store for me, be it on a new wreck, reef or just cruising familar grounds.  Get off your duff and get back into the sport you once loved. I'm giving you the opportunity to join a local group to travel to some of the best the world has to offer. One thing I'm sure of...I'm only going around once, so "I never want to look back and say I should've!"  That's why "I'm going with or without you!"  Let Orbit Marine "Dive you the World!"




  I HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON!
Capt. Noel Voroba/pres
