A New Facility – Still Unpacking
Eric Keibler Sep 22, 2018

We have made a lot of progress in a week. The wetsuits are up on the racks and in order but the boots are temporarily stored under the suits awaiting their new home to arrive. Colin is putting the finishing touches on the new bench that will be in the wetsuit room next week. When it arrives, Colin has designed bins for the boots under the seating so things will look even cleaner in that room.
We have also been working on Dive Mom’s area. This is where you’ll find the dive computers, photo equipment and the Ocean Positive swimwear. As of yesterday, the Pure Fiji has been unpacked and arranged and the computers are now nicely displayed in the cabinet. WThe phones have been coming up and we should have all of that system set and in place by the end of the weekend.
Our computer consultants have been working to finish the cabling and installation and hope to have the majority of it completed by Sunday of next week. You can expect some new things in this area when everything comes up.


The kitchen/repair/storage/Coad’s desk is packed to the brim with repair parts and tools along with the rental and pool equipment and a few cylinders. But, Coad was amazing on Thursday and Friday and it really cam together. He even has a place to work now — not that we have time for him to sit.
Amelia transformed the Orientation room into a showroom this week so we can once again talk about diving and scuba systems with the appropriate displays and videos. You can even come and find a book or two since we have those set-out and displayed. The travel and tech showroom is unpacked but not yet very organized. This is the next big area to attack. It should be more organized next week.


The classroom is relatively clean and we are now trying to make the final decisions for monitor placement and white board placement. We have a new table on hand and a new sofa that is REALLLY comfortable! It should be ready for classes by Tuesday or Wednesday (which is a good thing since we have some this week. Eric’s office remains a disaster! We are missing parts for the bookcase, and Ann keeps sending boxes up. It will be a few weeks before it is ready for company. Of course, what all of this means is — we are here and ready to help everyone with their diving adventures and education. Please come by and visit us!
