Bottom Time Diving Services for 2011

Dock masters and customers concerned with retaining Bottom Time’s personal dive care have suggested price increases to curb the accelerated dive demands and growth.  With such concerns in mind and the fact that three years of operations provided little profits for Bottom Time, the wisdom of a price increase is a matter of need as well as preservation.  Have no fear, though, Bottom Time Services remains dedicated to reasonable and competitive pricing with superior dive care.   The bottom line for 2011 is there is only a  fifteen cent a minute increase on your dives.  Here are eleven service details for Bottom Time customers going into 2011:
