Truth Aquatics Conception

Prior to the tragic fire aboard the Truth Aquatics Conception, Howell’s Dive Shop sponsored annual trips on the Conception for 35 years. Pictured is our last group, just weeks before the fire that resulted in the loss of 34 lives. We were deeply saddened by the accident, yet grateful for 35 years of wonderful memories.

 


Howell’s would like to sincerely thank all our loyal customers for their support over the last 62 years as we look forward to continuing our rich tradition of excellent service.  Please consider us for all your diving and mining needs!
