Kathy Kirk woman in business

Starting out with a limited number of products, Kirkscubagear has expanded its product lines and offers outdoor gear for the outdoor lover in all of us. In a email interview with downdeep35 which is her screen name on Youtube, Kathy gives me the low down on her storefront location, nestled between two Great Lakes, Lake Huron and Lake Erie in beautiful Ontario, Canada. Kathy first contacted me via her Youtube channel to discuss her website which is dedicated to and in memory of her father, Bill Kirk, "who was a water baby like myself," says Kathy, who's life was taken tragically in a drowning accident in Vero Beach, Florida in 1990.

I always was a water baby, and that love of the water lead me in later life to becoming certified in scuba. To completely outfit yourself for scuba, requires a lot of gear, and a good "chunk of change" to get every piece of equipment for yourself. I thought: why not open a business and offer fellow divers/divers to be, good quality scuba gear, great prices and encourage more people to "take the plunge"? Buy a little, or buy a lot, update your current equipment, the choices are endless at Kirkscubagear.

Kathy has also been featured in Sport Diver Magazine.

I am a Open Water Diver, and owner of Kirkscubagear. Lover of ship wrecks, and the underwater environment. Against the sale of plastic bags and bottled water. I started scuba diving later in life---a sport that had fascinated me for many years. I grew up near Sarnia, Ontario, swimming and the beach were a part of my life. I thought, lets take up diving, and see what exactly is under there. I have enjoyed every minute of it, and wished I had taken it up sooner! Scuba diving is sensual. To breathe underwater is one of the most fascinating and peculiar sensations imaginable. Breathing becomes a rhythmic melody of inhalations and exhalations. The cracks and pops of fish and crustaceans harmonize with the rhythmic chiming of the bubbles as you exhale. Soon, lungs act as bellows, controlling your buoyancy as you achieve weightlessness. As in your dreams, you are flying. Combine these otherworldly stimuli and you surrender completely to the sanctuary of the underwater world.
