SUMMARY:August Search and Recovery Training
DESCRIPTION:Behind the Badge: Spartan SCUBA and CCSO Search & Recovery (SAR)\nOn Sunday\, August 16th\, the Spartan SCUBA & Dive Team will be heading out for a dedicated Search & Recovery training evolution under the auspices of our partnership with the Clark County Sheriff’s Office. \nMany people don’t realize that the Spartan SCUBA crew actually makes up the bulk of the CCSO SAR dive team. When the call goes out\, we are the team heading into the water. Public safety and black-water recovery operations demand absolute precision\, and this training ensures our divers remain razor-sharp and prepared for the zero-visibility challenges of our local Pacific Northwest waters. \nOur commitment to carrying this shield and answering the call comes down to a few immutable principles: \n\nBringing Closure: To stand ready in the darkest hours\, providing answers and closure to families who have experienced unimaginable loss.\nSecuring Evidence: To utilize advanced technical diving skills to locate and retrieve critical evidence that has been cast into Davey Jones’ Locker\, ensuring justice is served.\nStewardship & Duty: To step up\, master a difficult skill set\, and simply be good people who serve the community when it matters most.\n\n🚨 Answer the Call: Join the Team\nWe actively recruit all year long for the SAR team. While we only officially onboard and add new members to the roster at the beginning of the year\, the evaluation and connection process starts now. \nIf you’ve ever wondered if you have what it takes to do real-world\, active community service underwater\, don’t just guess—come find out. We welcome qualified divers to come out to a training session\, meet the crew\, and see exactly what SAR diving looks like firsthand. \nEvent Details: \n\nWhat: CCSO SAR Dive Team Training Evolution & Open House for Prospective Recruits\nWho: Spartan SCUBA & Dive Team (Operating as CCSO SAR)\nWhen: Sunday\, August 16\, 2026\nHow to Attend: shoot an email to Doc to get the location details and timing.

SUMMARY:Giant Week of Diving
DESCRIPTION:🤿 The Ultimate Sunrise Sweep: One Giant Week of Diving & Training\nMark your calendars! Spartan SCUBA is heading up to Sunrise Resort on Hood Canal for an extended\, action-packed dive week from Sunday\, September 20th through Saturday\, September 26th\, 2026. \nWe’re shaking up the schedule this month. Instead of splitting our efforts between an early-month beginner weekend and a late-month technical push\, we are mashing them together into one massive\, week-long diving event. Whether you’re looking to knock out your very first open water checkouts\, dial in your buoyancy\, or push into technical depths\, HQ will be on-site and operational for seven straight days. \nRain\, Snow\, Comet\, or Shine: We’ll Be There\nWhen Spartan sets a date on the calendar\, we mean it. Come rain\, squall\, sudden snow\, or celestial impact\, our crew will be on the beach every single day. \nEach morning\, Spartan leadership will be dropping and securing the dive floats for the entire site. These lines aren’t just for our shop classes—they’re set up to support visiting clubs\, buddy pairs\, and independent divers sharing the water with us. If you’re on-site\, our team will be there to offer surface support\, answer questions about entry conditions\, and help you finalize whatever course certifications you’re currently wrapping up. \nFrom the “Open Water Guppy” to the 180-Foot “Dunk-N-Plunker”\nThe best part about combining our training tracks into a single week is the incredible energy on the beach. You’ll have brand-new divers working on basic mask skills sharing surface interval stories with trimix tech divers gearing up for deep wall runs. \nWe are offering every level of training and recreational diving under the sun throughout the week: \n\nOpen Water Checkouts: Perfect for our newer divers getting comfortable with real-world Pacific Northwest cold-water conditions.\nAdvanced & Specialty Training: Navigation\, night diving\, peak performance buoyancy\, and drysuit orientations.\nRescue & Leadership Drills: Real-time scenario practice and skill refinement for current and prospective dive leaders.\nTechnical & Deep Operations: For the seasoned “dunk-n-plunkers” looking to work the deep drops\, test equipment configurations\, and log targeted bottom time down to 180 feet.\n\nIf you have a specific course requirement you need signed off\, let us know in advance so we can align instructor schedules! \n🏕️ Know Before You Go: Revised Sunrise Amenities\nFor those planning to camp or spend multiple days on-site\, please keep in mind the updated site amenities list for Sunrise Resort: \n\nStaging & Beach Access: Outstanding shore entry with easy access to depths.\nSurface Support: Spartan dive floats deployed daily.\nRestrooms: On-site facilities available for day-users.\nHot Showers: NOT AVAILABLE! (Lol—consider this your official heads-up! Pack warm layers\, bring a thermos of hot water for drysuit rinses\, and prepare for classic PNW ruggedness).\n\nHow to Join Us\nYou don’t need to commit to all seven days to participate! Drop in for a single day\, stack a two-day weekend\, or camp out for the full stretch with the crew. \n\nWhen: Sunday\, Sept 20 – Saturday\, Sept 26\, 2026\nWhere: Sunrise Resort\, Hood Canal\nWho: Open to all Spartan students\, certified divers\, tech teams\, and visiting buddies.\n\nGet your tanks filled\, inspect your gear\, and touch base with HQ if you need rental gear or course sign-offs lined up ahead of time. See you on the beach! \n🏨 Need a Room for the Week?\nIf tent camping or roughing it isn’t your style\, Sunrise Resort offers great waterfront rooms and lodging options right on site. \n\nBook Through Spartan: We can help facilitate room accommodations for our divers to keep the team coordinated. Contact HQ directly to see what we have set aside for the week!\nBook Direct: Prefer to manage your own booking? You can reach out to Sunrise Resort directly to secure a room.\n\nFor full event details\, site maps\, and updates as we get closer to September\, head over to the Spartan Specific Sunrise Page!
