the
San Solomon Springs
Outfitter
since 1989
Cherokee Owned and Operated
Darrel & Neta Rhyne opened The Toyahvale Desert Oasis, a swim & souvenir shop, in March, 1989. With a large number of their customers being scuba divers they soon realized the need for a full service dive shop. In September of 1989 the shop expanded into the scuba business by adding an air compressor for filling scuba tanks and scuba diving gear for rental. The Toyahvale Desert Oasis had now become the outfitter for the San Solomon Springs.
In September of 1994 Darrel (OWI # 86646) took his SCUBA Instructor Development Course with Ralph Erickson (Course Director #0) co-founder & president of PADI. Over the years Darrel has shared his love for diving with people from all over the country. His scuba certification course is conducted in the relaxing atmosphere of the crystal clear waters of San Solomon Springs.
Neta, an accomplished author and artist, is a registered member of the Cherokee Nation. A FOURTEEN year survivor of (as the Lung Specialist in El Paso Described it to me) "terminal Lung Cancer" and a direct descendent of survivors of the Trail of Tears, Neta strives to bring her American Indian heritage to life through her diverse artistic creations. The springs, desert and mountains of West Texas not only help to sooth her spirit but also gives inspiration to many of her creative ideas.
