FUN DIVING! Y-KIKI'S LOCAL DIVING ADVENTURES PROGRAM

Welcome to the Fun Diving "club", and if you’re newly certified, welcome to diving!

You may have heard the saying, “Five years from now you will be the same person you are today, except for the books you read and the people you meet.”  Likewise, I would say that five years from now you will be the same diver you are today, except for the classes you take and the divers you dive with.

Our Fun Diving “club” includes a core group of avid divers who are very proficient, experienced, and enthusiastic about sharing their love of diving with whomever chooses to join us on any given outing, whether it is one of the scheduled Local Diving Adventures sponsored by Y-Kiki Divers or an additional outing that we add to the mix and invite all to attend.  All comers are welcome, including anyone you might care to invite to come along.

Especially welcome is anyone who does not have a buddy or who is a little insecure about their current skills.  We always have on hand a skilled and patient buddy who will truly enjoy diving with you and offering any guidance or assistance you may want.  Really.  This is one of the main purposes of the Fun Diving “club”.  We will stay within your limits and comfort zone when we dive with you, and not consider it to be any kind of imposition.  On occasion we will also send out an invitation for an excursion that requires a minimum level of experience, such as a wreck diving weekend on Lake Michigan; when this occurs the invite will clearly state what depths you need to be certified for and whether equipment such as a drysuit is advisable.

The only way to get better at diving is to go diving, and the best way to get better is to go diving with divers who are more skilled than you.  Acquiring more skills now on local dives will greatly enhance your enjoyment and safety when you make your trips to exotic destinations.  Imagine being able to focus on what you are seeing, experiencing, or photographing, because you no longer need to concentrate on your buoyancy control and manipulating your equipment.

In conclusion, our priorities when we go out fun diving are:
• Safety first, always
• Having fun, both in the water and when sharing surface intervals and meals
• Acquiring and improving on diving skills

Have questions?  Whether general diving questions or questions specific to one of our planned dive outings, bring them on.  You may e-mail me or Valerie, or call or visit Y-Kiki Divers to get your questions answered.
