Spending the weekend with Seaway Valley Divers (Power House), H2O Lanaudiere (Lock 21), camping under the Blue Moon, a trip to Scubapro HQ, Clearwater Design Canoe/Kayak in Picton Ont. (what a wonderful family run Canadian Business), a full day of private courses...but the highlight was a surprise dinner with Helen Cooper on her bday-eve!
Thankfully I picked up the cheque!

As most of you know...I am the worst at self promotion.
I tend to be more incognito...but today, one of the 30 plus organizations that I sponsor (yes without self promotion) came in with a thank you letter...it brought tears to my eyes.
They do some great work for the Chirldren of the area, however, we wished they did not have to exist in the first place...but none the less...they do a wonderful job for the children that truly need. Keep up the good work...I will be here in any capacity that you need. Cheers

Thank you to everyone for showing & celebrating our 12th Anniversary Dive & BBQ. Much better conditions than in 2014, where it was 3C with wind & rain.
True to form...I didn't take a single picture...yes I am soooo good at self promotion!
Those who were there know.
Please add your own pictures in the comments!
Thanks again!

May 3 2014...the DSO adventure began.
With continued support from our loyal customers...we have gone from humble beginnings, to where we are today.
So just like May 3rd 2014...this Sunday, May 3rd 2026 we will start the day off with a Dive at Lock 21 (10:30am)...then head back to the shop for a BBQ & Free Air Fills!
Happy 12th Anniversary Deco Stop Outdoor.

What a fun start to the year. The day started off at -24C...so we went for a 6hr pool session...& ended in the Hot-Tub!
We did some Bubblemakers, Discover Scubas, Refreshers & even some DM training.
Thanks to all that came out, to our hosts, but especially to the kids...it was a blast taking them in for their first Scuba Experience.

So on that note...I am thrilled to announce that Deco Stop Outdoor will once again be running our Kids Scuba Camp (12-16yrs old) in July 2026. Monday to Friday (09:00-16:00)...& they will be Certified Padi Open Water Divers!

Only 8 places available...so contact us for more info or to sign up.

Happy New Year.
