You don’t have to fly halfway across the world to find something worth diving. Around here, the water may be colder, the visibility may be questionable, and whatever just bumped into your fin is probably none of your damn business—but the locals still deserve a little respect.
The Respect the Locals – Midwestern Diving Tee celebrates the fish, quarries, lakes, rivers, and slightly questionable dive conditions that make Midwest diving what it is. Featuring a hard-hitting freshwater fish and diver design with “Respect the Locals” across the top and “Midwestern Diving” below, it’s made for the divers who know some of the best adventures happen far from palm trees and turquoise water. Whether you're gearing up at the quarry, killing time during a surface interval, heading to the dive shop, or explaining for the hundredth time that yes, people actually scuba dive in the Midwest, this one belongs in the rotation.
Features: Large Respect the Locals / Midwestern Diving* back graphic Disgruntled Divers attitude without needing an explanation Perfect for freshwater divers, quarry rats, instructors, divemasters, and anyone proud of their local dive scene Looks equally at home on the boat, at the lake, or around the shop
Warm water is nice. Clear water is nice. But sometimes you’ve gotta respect the locals and dive where you’re planted. Disgruntled Divers — Dive Local. Stay Disgruntled.
