A sad week as we have had to say good bye to Mary Poppins
Practically perfect in every way Sam (aka Popeye) Sam has become a valued member of our team,
he has done really well during his PADI Divemaster internship and we hope that he
will return in the new year.
On a brighter note, Lydia , Moomin Kevin, Perry and Angela
all became PADI Rescue Divers this week, another fun filled open water session on
the rescue course, with stooges being great casualties !
Now they can all start
to focus on their PADI Divemaster course. More skill sessions, more stamina and the
dreaded exams!!!
Not a good week for Angela as she injured herself about a
week ago, messing about at the beach!, and now her wound has become infected and so she is out of the water
for at least the next week!!!
At least
she has plenty of time to study unlike the other interns for them its go go
go!!!
Another high is that Alice, our PADI Assistant Instructor has
started her PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC)
she has spent a lot of time preparing for this course, many hours of
studying and stressing so we are all positive that she will do really well.
We all wish them the best of luck, I
am sure they will be fine as in the first few days they have started to find
their feet and are progressing well with the theory and practical sessions.
The interns had some fun dives this week at Abades , Lydia Lydia as she
was able to brief and lead all of the dives. Its great to see the progress that she is
making from her first attempts so well done Lydia and keep up the good work. On their dives they were really happy to have
seen Cuttlefish, a couple of Octopus, a lovely Cylinder Anemone and they are
all keeping a close eye out for the Sexy Shrimp as found earlier this year by
Matt.
Melissa has managed to find a great motivation tool to speed
the interns up and that’s breakfast at the Aberdeen !!!
Yummy, its amazing how fast they can all work when breakfast is up for
grabs!
This week Lydia
has been improving well and has completed her Kit Exchange so well done to her!!!
She has also completed yet another PADI Speciality her Surface Marker Buoy, in the next few weeks she will also
complete her Nitrox and Wreck Speciality.
We were joined this week by Ann and Dennis from Belgium to
complete their PADI Advanced Open Water Course, they both did excellently completing,
Boat, Wreck, Navigation, Peak Performance Buoyancy and Deep dives. Two
busy diving days, with lots to see.
Laura and her husband Garantas from Lithuania were
really happy to get in the pool for a Scuba Tune up. before heading out to Yellow Mountain
A nice treat for Kevin and Perry as their Girlfriends Leah and
Katerine arrived from Denmark
to see them for a few days bringing Dennis’ beloved Guitar with them.
Leah (Kevins Girlfriend) was excited to complete her
Discover Scuba Diving Session, they had a great hour of fun in the pool, and Leah was really pleased that she was able to feel so relaxed.
The following day they headed out and then to be joined at ElPuertito by Kevin, Perry and Katerine, an Open Water diver, who completed a Scuba
Tune Up in the pool.
They had an amazing
time at El Puertito and in the dives they were luckily enough to see 3 separate Turtles as well as a huge Octopus.
The
Turtles as ever were amazingly friendly and followed the group of divers around for the
entire dive. Poor Perry did not listen when Melissa mentioned that the Turtles
think fingers might be fish and got a little bit on his hand… he is however
very proud of his war wound!!!
More from me next week with a special update about how the PADI Instructor Development Course has been.
