Grand opening of plongée XL

My good friend Michel Labrecque has just opened a scuba diving store in an area of the province of Quebec that where it was ssorely missing, in the small town of Victoriaville. Beforehand, divers had to travel all the way to Montreal or Quebec city to find the services they were looking for.

According to Jonathan, the official Aqualung sales representative for eastern Canada, it is the nicest dive shop he's seen in the entire province. Indeed, the product layout, the lighting, the colors, etc... are these details are well thought out and create a nice, warm, fuzzy feeling when visiting the boutique.

Knowing my friend, only the top quality equipment is to be found. Even the rental gear is of a better quality than what can be found in other dive shops. Just the classroom with its 6 rescue class mannequins is worth the visit. ;-)

I've known Michel for a few years now and I can tell you he's very particular about safety and quality, I guess his military background shows there. So you can expect top notch service as well as top notch scuba training from PADI, tec rec, DAN. His dive shop is one of the few that is authorized to teach scuba diving to handicapped by way of the Hadicapped Scuba Association.

Of course, what makes the classes and the overall activities so wonderful is that I am part of the instructors and divemaster team. So for that reason, you can be assured that you will get the best rescue diver course in the world because I make an excellent victim :-)
