Thanks to Jupiter Dive Center- Gold Sponsor of the Blue Storm Tournament Series!

[SpearMax]

I just want to say a big thanks to Jupiter Dive Center! They are now a $2,400 Gold Sponsor of the Blue Storm Tournament Series. I recently met Gerry, the owner, who is a charming fellow from Ireland. He operates one of the fine dive shops that cater to spearfishermen and women. He also operates two great charter dive boats in the Jupiter area called Republic IV and Republic VII.

Here are some images I shot:

JDC has a wide product selection with an emphasis on that excellent line Scubapro.

More inventory selection.

They do lots of fills and the boats are right out the back door.

Planning for this event is moving forward well. The facility and catering arrangements are done. The PBO event is the weekend before mini-lobster season. The light bulbs are going off for some of you - combine this tourney with some lobster scouting!

Here is the PBO tournament flyer which is hitting mailboxes and dive shops this week.

Jupiter Dive Center is a great place. The owner, Jerry, was very supportive of Sheri's Spearfishing Symposium last year. He ran a DAN O2 course at the Symposium and donated all the money to Sheri's cause. He also gave her a great additional donation. He won't talk about it so I will. Very good folks who support us 100%.

And, here is one of the fantastic prizes from JDC that will be on the table at the Palm Beach Blue Storm Open. This is the same model of regulator (cost $700+) that I use personally - top of the line for sure!

Here are some blurbs from the Scubapro website:

MK25
BALANCED PISTON FIRST STAGE
SCUBAPRO has been the leader in the evolution of piston controlled first stages since its beginning; the MK25 carries on this heritage with an array of patented features ensuring unfailing performance. The MK25 is a balanced piston first stage, our absolute top performer. It is a superior regulator thanks to its ultra stable intermediate pressure resulting in an extremely punctual and constantly high delivery of air. This means instant airflow at any tank pressure and water temperature for a real carefree dive.

S600
SECOND STAGE
A second stage regulator must translate natural breathing behavior into mechanical reality. A high quality second stage can significantly reduce stress and enhance diver safety by providing smooth, low-effort breathing response, resulting in ample yet controllable quantities of air.

On the prize table, there will also be trips on the two dive boats owned by JDC and docked right behind their facility in Jupiter - the Republic VI and the Republic VII
