The new diggs for the La Canada Sport Chalet dive shop.
The new Sport Chalet building in La Canada had its Grand Opening on the weekend of 8-22-08. Loading the car with my wife, son, and Jimmy, we went to check it out on Sunday. The new store is pretty huge compared to the cozy Sport Land building they used to occupy across the street.
Apparently they had such a successful sale weekend, that they had to open the warehouse on Sunday to send truckloads of merchandise to fill the emptying shelves. “It’s like Christmas shopping season,” said one of the floor manager. Of course, I was more interested in checking out the new dive shop then all the other sporting goods, but it’s good to hear they were doing well.
The dive shop is located right near the front by the cashiers to the left of the entrance. For the air fill station, head to the wall with all the masks and snorkels, and then take a right. For the pool, head straight toward the sign that says “Scuba training area.”
And here’s what the pool looks like. It’s a nice size pool for scuba classes. I hear the Arcadia store as well as the Burbank store will be using this pool for scuba classes. You can see divers already training, ready to start their underwater adventure.
