Congratulations to T. Clark, R. Arnall and E. Soini for completing Open Water; T. Firla for Advanced Open Water, and members of the Berlin CT Police Dept. Dive Team for earning their Rescue Diver Certifications.

Dive boat TRESTA passes USCG Auxiliary inspection as an Operational Facility. As such she will be used to train and patrol with USCG Station Point Judith. Captain Beardsley’s USCG Masters Certificate is renewed with an endorsement for operations 100 miles offshore.

Congratulations to new Open Water Divers G. Frennette, J. Dakin, M. Keeley, M. DeMarche and J. Yost

Ninigret Divers LLC's Partner in Dive Safety status was renewed by Diver Alert Network (DAN). This status is offered only to dive operators who meet DAN's safety standards.

Dive boat TRESTA now outfitted with a new sound system. Bring your favorite surface interval CD!

The Grand Turk trip has concluded. A special thanks to the staff at Sea Eye Diving, and the Osprey Beach Hotel who all made our stay so enjoyable.

Like all trips it ended too soon, but we had a great time, and took some good pictures (to be posted soon).

Turtles, whales, green flashes and Red Stripes! What more could we ask for?

We can't wait to go back!

Congratulations to George Glaser of South Lyons, MI and Stephanie and Norbert Ansay of Richmond, RI. All completed their Open Water certifications.

NinigretDivers.Com launches with a new design and domain name. Whoo Hoo! We are very exited about the launch of our new web site. We thank Crosswinds.net for the free space they let us use while we readied ourselves for our own domain.

Today we took the boat out of the water. Despite some early troubles, Tresta performed flawlessly for most of the season. She will spend the winter at Lavin's Landing marina, until the spring when she will come out again and take us diving.

We were approached today by a man who used to fly Hellcat airplanes during World War two. He told us that he would like to hire us to find a plane that he crashed near the Trumble Connecticut airport. More on this as it develops.
