Happy New Year to you all. The end of another year!! Its hard to believe that yet another year has flown by here at Dive and Sea Tenerife. We have had our best year to date and have met some amazing divers. We have been busy all year round with divemaster Internships, it is always great fun having interns in and around the dive centre keeping us all busy. We hope that you will all continue to support us and come and enjoy some more fun times with us.
So back to this week another great busy week, poor Pete and Melissa left on their own while Alice recuperates from her busy Christmas eve as Santa’s Elf.
The week started with a busy administration day much needed after months of diving, so we managed to catch up on all those little jobs that just don’t ever seem to get done, then off out for a fabulous evening at Big Al’s, with a Scottish piper at midnight who could ask for more. There is still a very long list of things to do in and around the dive centre its never ending!
Unfortunately we had to start back to work on the 2nd January and straight off bright and Early with Richard, David. Its great to see these guys again who started to Learn to dive with us four years ago, and have been back every Christmas since then!!! This year they are taking a break from courses to enjoy some recreational diving. On their first dives to Poco Naufragio and Pequeno Valle they were joined by Instructor Z and Master Scuba Diver Mike. They had two great dives and were pleased to see Common Rays, Moray Eels and shoals of Barracuda. Mike was sorely disappointed he was unable to do more dives with us this week but promises to be back next year.
Finally Santa’s Elf returned to Tenerife to her real job and actually to start teaching again!
More fun dives off out on the boat a bright sunny morning at Yellow Mountain with Z and new arrivals Peter, and Juliane from Denmark for some fun dives, Pete was also there to complete Swathi’s PADI Scuba Diver course. Swathi did really well and is now a fully certified Scuba Diver, we hope that Jay and Swathi come back soon to upgrade to the Open Water diver course soon.
Alice was happy to be completing her first Bubblemaker sessions with Matthew and Joshua, both aged 8 and over the moon to be able to get into the Pool and play some games. They had a great afternoon and cannot wait to be 10 years old so that they can get into the sea and start diving for real.
A very sad afternoon as Dennis and Andreas are finally leaving the Island. They have both done amazingly well in their Internship and Pete, Melissa and Alice are definitely going to miss their smiley faces and positive attitude around the dive centre. We really hope that this is not the last we see of them!!!
Melissa headed off to see the turtles first visit for the new year, with Peter and Juliane, Dmitry, Richard and David they had an amazing time diving with the turtles and were really lucky to have a turtle with them for around 15 minutes. The Turtles are so interested in the divers and what they are doing, Poor Peter was knocked onto his back trying to take photographs! They all had a great morning diving and it was really
Alice was yet again busy in the pool on another Bubble maker session with Dmitry age 9, not Dmitry from the mornings dive of course but his young cousin who was so excited to get into the pool and try what his elder cousin does. He is already planning his own open Water Course!!! So maybe we will get to see him back at Dive and Sea!!
Richard and David were back on Saturday diving at Las Eras a new site for them, they both had a really amazing time and were really happy to have seen the amazing Rock formations and all of the gorgeous shoals of fish that are there. On the dives they saw Red Backed Cleaner Shrimp, several beautiful Anemones a fangtooth and A Brown Moray eels as well as two very large cuttle fish and a streaked Gurnard. A very nice start to the day followed by a busy afternoon catching up on all of the administration duties that go with the jobs too!!
These are the boys last dives with us this holiday as David heads off back to Ireland and Richard has a long list of tasks to complete for his Grandparents before returning back to college next week.
Looking forward to another fun week next week, the return of Darren to complete his PADI Advanced Open Water Course with Alice.
