Sal Zammitti and Bamboo Reef are pleased to announce we have reached an agreement with Poseidon Adventures, Mark Stanley and Brian Stanley, to acquire Bamboo Reef. Bamboo Reef was founded in 1961 by Al Giddings and purchased by Sal Zammitti in 1971. Under Sal’s leadership we grew to become the preeminent dive retailer in California with locations in San Francisco and Monterey.

We are excited that Mark and Brian Stanley will continue to nurture and grow our legacy. Mark is an SSI instructor with 12 years of teaching experience and is the retired director of the microbiology lab at Kaiser Permanente. Brian is a graduate of Hall’s Diving and brings both retail and manufacturing experience. He is an SSI scuba instructor and SSI Freediving trainer who has been manager of Bamboo Reef and developed our freediving program.

Sal Zammitti thanks you for over 55 years of support and hope that you welcome Mark and Brian as they continue to grow Bamboo Reef, SCUBA, and Freediving in California. He will be working with Mark and Brian to help them in this transition.

So what do you do after you score the biggest game winning goal in the 25 year history of the San Jose Sharks​? Naturally, you go have a beer at Khartoum​. Awesome game Wardo! We love you in Teal!

Urgent message for Exhibitors, Vendors, and Creators. Campbell Con literally has one large table available, and five creator tables. Large table is good for comic shops, toys, Exhibitors ect. We are posting this because last year we had pages and pages of waiting lists and we want to give people ample warning and an opportunity to be part of Campbell Con 2016. We feel that it is important to let everyone know so there is no surprises when the convention sells out and opportunity lost for those who did not act in time. Get on board while you can and we look forward to seeing everyone.

Get your SHARKS on at Simply Smashing! With our local hockey team finally in the Stanley Cup Finals, you can bet a lot of people are going to be Rockin the Teal, but with these Sharks guitar pick accessory items, you literally can rock it in teal.

Congratulations to our pal Joe Thornton and The San Jose Sharks! 25 years in the making!!!
