If you enjoyed last year's pot luck dinner, we will be holding another one at the end of January, 2010.
If you did not attend last year's dinner, this is your chance to see how much fun (not to mention delicious--the food last year was great!) it is. See pictures and videos from dives in the last year (show your own, if you would like), share stories, and discuss plans for the upcoming year. Catch-up with people you took a trip with previously. Meet the people you might travel with if you join us for one of the trips we have planned for 2010.
The dinner, which will be held our store, will start at 3pm on Saturday, January 30 and is scheduled to last until 5pm.
To participate, please be sure to contact us to RSVP.
Happy Holidays from FantaSea Scuba & Travel!

Drop-Off Serivce (with Fast Turnaround) in Plymouth and Mayer for Customers in the Western and North-Western Metro
We realize that it can be a long drive to Burnsville from some places, especially places like:
- Delano
- Maple Plain
- Long Lake
- Maple Grove
- Plymouth
- Minnetonka
- Wayzata
- Excelsior
- Chaska
- Norwood Young America
- Waconia
The drive shouldn't be a reason to forego scuba—or equipment repair. If for some reason the distance has been a reason not to visit us with equipment that is due for service, we now offer an alternative: drop-points for equipment service at locations in Plymouth and Mayer.
With drop-off we offer 24-hour turnaround service on tank refills (if you drop your tank off with us in the morning, you can pick it up from us the next day) and fast turnaround on other service.
Please contact us for further details.
