ASTscuba

As many of you know, ASTscuba has recently closed.

Before officially turning the page, we have one last piece of equipment that I’d love to see stay within our dive family:

**Max-Air 90 SE-FD 6000 high-pressure breathing air compressor (9.0 CFM), three-phase**

I’m offering it at $3,500, well below market value. This compressor has supported countless adventures and memories beneath the surface, and I’d love for it to continue doing so for another shop. It was purchased new in July 2021, has just 264 hours, and is in great condition. The only catch — it needs to be picked up ASAP.
If you or someone you know could use it, please reach out to us at (413) 499-7205 or email [email protected]. We’ll be in and out of the store these last few days — if you don’t catch us by phone, just leave a message and we’ll get back to you quickly.

Thank you all again for the support, friendship, and shared love of the ocean over the years. It’s been an honor to be part of this community.

Auction ends tomorrow (9/23) at 7PM.

Hello and happy Wildlife Wednesday scuba fam!

Today we are shining our spotlight on the shrimp. While they are delicious with some cocktail sauce and lemon, they are fabulous little creatures under the sea as well!

Shrimp are widespread and abundant. There are thousands of species adapted to a wide range of habitats. They can be found feeding near the seafloor on most coasts. Their diets consist of plankton, algae, and snails. Shrimp play an important part of the ocean's ecosystem because they are an important food source for a lot of other wildlife ranging from fish to whales.

Fun fact: To escape predators, some species flip off the seafloor and dive into the sediment.

Interested in seeing shrimp somewhere other than your plate? Keep up to date with our trips!
