Desert Dog Diving

During the month of August 2026, Zach decided to continue advancing his diving education by taking the Advanced Nitrox course with instructor Bill. His training included classroom instruction, academic testing, and successfully executing the required dives.

Through hard work, dedication, and commitment to his training, Zach successfully completed the course and is now an Advanced Nitrox Diver.

Congratulations, Zach, on this outstanding accomplishment! This is another great milestone in your diving journey, and we’re excited to see where your continued education and experience take you. 🤿👏🎉 photos by Marcia Bradley

🌊 The Last Run to the B-29 — May 9, 2026 🛩️🤿

May 9, 2026, was our last run to the B-29 bomber before summer boat traffic arrived and visibility would drop to near zero. It was a great way to close out the season on this incredible wreck.

3rd Reef Divers booked the boat, and we’ll have room for two more divers who want to jump on this excursion and make the trip out to the bomber with us.

It was one last chance to get down there, explore the B-29, and enjoy what makes wreck diving so special before the summer traffic and changing conditions take over.

Say hi to Anna! 👋🤿 Anna is a Dive Master Cadet getting ready to join the professional side of scuba diving. She’s said a couple more presentations away from taking that next big step! 🌊

This was from Sunday, August 26, 2026. Wishing Anna the best as she continues her journey into the professional diving world! 🌊💙

On Sunday, July 26, 2026, Oscar, an instructor, came out to join us for some fun dives. He brought great energy to the day and showed off some really nice giant strides, making the dives even more enjoyable and memorable.

On Sunday, July 26, 2026, dive master Deanna joined us for some fun dives and showed us a fantastic, simple way to get into the water. Just sit on the edge of boat, have someone place your gear behind you. Slide in to your gear and then in right in go.

It's a great reminder that diving doesn't have to be complicated or intimidating. With a little help, the right technique, and a willingness to give it a try, scuba diving can be an amazing and enjoyable experience for just about anybody.

Thanks, Deanna, for the awesome demonstration and for showing us another way to make diving more approachable for everyone! 🤿 🙌 

On Sunday, July 26, 2026, Chase, an instructor from Stone Sports, came out to Lake Mead for some boat diving in the canyon. It was a beautiful day on the water and a lot of fun exploring the canyon underwater. Great diving, great company, and another memorable day at Lake Mead! 🤿🌊 

Tanks are loaded, gear is ready, and it’s time to dive! 🤿🌊 Let’s get after it—safe diving and good times ahead! 🐠💦

Back on Saturday July 18th 2026 Joshua joined us a board the Puddle Jumper II to complete several dives. You’ll notice that Joshua does not have a tank mounted on his back. He is using a sidemount BCD configuration, which positions the tanks alongside his body rather than on his back.

We are incredibly fortunate to share our adventures with Sue and Jeff, a dynamic husband and wife dive team. Who made time to get a few dives in with us back on July 18th 2026. Besides being great dive buddy’s, Sue and Jeff volunteer as surface support during our eco dives. You can also find them at the sign-up table assisting during the sign ups. Thank you so much for all that you do!
