Blue Lagoon

Come On In…the Water Is Fine in October

September and October have been a blast up at the lakes! The outdoor West Bellaire pool was colder than the lake last weekend. This mean you shoudl take the time and join us for some fun local diving!

We spent the first weekend in October down at Mammoth Lake. The visability was great and the water was still warm — no drysuits yet! I had my newest group od Open Water Side Mount students join me for three tours of the lake while performing some fun skills for Joe Thompson and me. Thir perfomances were good and they looked like they were actually enjoying themselves on the third dive.

We also had a group of “just for fun” divers up there as well as two of our newest DPV divers .

Be sure to congratulations to all of the Open Water Side Mount divers!

This past weekend, Ryan completed his Open Water Class with Joel! and Rich rejoined the underwater world after a small 10+ year hiatus. Cora even took his wife snorkeling to find the elusive turtles hiding in the grass up at Blue Lagoon.

Be sure to congratulate Ryan and welcome Rich back to diving!

  • New Open Water Diver

There are still a few weekends left in October which means that there is still time for you to join us for some fun local diving. See our Events Calendar or call Dive Mom!

Dive Guide Candidates at BBL

This weekend saw our newest Dive Guide candidates, Wylie and Jessica, brave the cooler waters of Beautiful Blue Lagoon to help Eric and Madison enjoy themselves on their first dives since open water training! At least that was the story we were working under. They were in charge of briefings, tours and logging for the day and making sure theri new divers had a really fun time. Three dives into 61oF water along with some surface antics made for a full-day of training and evaluations.

But through it all, Wylie and Jessica kept cool heads and a positive attitude while working with their “bubba” divers. They did a really awesome job and it will be a real treat to have them join our staff.

What People Say…

Kelley Jones Minor

Appreciate the personal service and care at Oceanic Ventures

Ann really took her time helping to fit my niece with her first mask and fins. We so appreciated the personal attention, and we loved that she was open to talking about dive certification, but she wasn't giving us the hard sell. We live out toward Tomball but would happily drive back here vs. going to a nearby competitor simply for the service.

Jean Jansen

Oceanic Ventures is wonderful

They gave been wonderful all the way. My son started in Scuba Rangers and now we are both certified; thank you for taking care of us!

I loved it

I loved the course!

Holland Geibel

They are great with children!

Andrea Lebovitz

Thank you for the memories

I will never forget diving with my teen aged son for the first time. Thank you for the memories.

Dick Long

Eric Keibler is an Ambassador

Eric is a real ambassador for the rebreather world. Thanks for all of your hard work.

Pam Radford

I learned a lot from Oceanic Ventures

I really enjoyed my Technical Diver Course and I learned a lot.

Pam Radford

Oceanic Ventures is the best dive shop

Best Dive Shop I've ever used. I've been diving since 1984 and you will not find more talented staff anywhere else. They are small, family owned and service oriented #1. You get personal service from start to finish from people who actually dive all over the world. I've taken simple to advance courses from them and the trainers are excellent. Dive trips are well organized to unique locations and always fun. This type of depth of knowledge is very difficult to find, especially in Texas.

Nancy Easterbrook
DiveTech Grand Cayman

Oceanic Ventures is a great dive shop

Great dive shop with wonderful instructors to share your passion for the underwater world. They have fun for the whole family from kids diving programs through advanced diving. Checkout their scuba diving vacation to some of the best diving in the world. I really like the Diva dive vacation to Grand Cayman.

Charles Franklin

Oceanic Ventures is the best

I have been to many scuba stores in Houston and this one is by far the best. Most scuba stores have a couple of salespersons who will show you one of the 40 types of fins and 10 types of regulators that they have in stock and immediately try to sell these to you. Most of these same stores really cater only to people just getting certified. Oceanic ventures has a very different business model. While they do have an inventory, it is not as large as other stores. The difference is that they really try to foster a dive community. It works. People come back again and again. Further, unlike many stores, they teach just about everything possible. If you want to teach your child how to snorkel, they teach that. If you want to learn how to dive 350 feet down on a rebreather using helium gas mixes and several additional scuba tanks, they teach that. They teach everything in between. Not many stores do that. Additionally, the staff is very knowledgeable about all the equipment they sell. You will never get an "I don't know about that" type of answer.
