It is that time of year again where we get to clean up our local river.  Join us and the Upper Deschutes Watershed Council Stream Stewardship Day and lets clean up the the Deschutes River.  This event is put on by local businesses that care about our local area.  Last year there was over 50 trashbags taken from the river banks and the river itself.  IF you are interested in joining this group as a diver, PLEASE contact us at 541-388-3660 to sign up.  We offer our divers FREE AIR and tank rental for this event.  IF you would like to participate out of the water, (FUN FOR ALL AGES), you can meet at Riverbend Park at 10AM to clean up the banks.  

DIVERS this is a drift dive in the river where visibility can be impaired.  There has been many treasures that are discovered in the river.  

IF you are in need of rental equipment for the day we offer it to you at a discount of $40.  IF you need gear or air, please come to the shop between 8AM and 9:30 to get the paperwork filled out for this event.

IF you would like to volunteer to shuttle drivers from exit point back to their vehicles, that is another way you can support this event.
