C&L Scuba
C & L Scuba – C & L Scuba started its business in the basement of Ed & Elaine Riesmeyer's home in the year of 1991. During the early years, pool time was difficult to schedule. It seemed that we were always in competition with open swimming at the local YMCA during reasonable times or we able to obtain pool times late in the evenings while most people were sleeping.
1997 was an exciting year for C & L Scuba. It was early in the new year that our current facility was opened. We are proud to say that C & L Scuba is the only dive facility in Manitoba that houses a store, classroom, equipment room, and a specially designed pool just for teaching scuba diving. What this means to our students……..we only have to work around our schedule. Classes are run at times that are convenient for both our students and instructors. We keep our classes small, no more than 4 students to a class, so our students have more one on one training with their instructor. Pool temperature is kept at 900 F to provide comfort for all.
