PADI Courses and the PADI Instructor Course

Everything is going well on the IDC for Paul so we are sure he will do well on his Instructor Examination.  The first few days have been focused on teaching the candidates how to teach a PADI Course in the Classroom, Pool and Ocean, and giving presentations all of which is to help with the Instructor Examination.  He is enjoying working with the other applicants, and Course Director David to improve on all his skills and theoretical Knowledge. 

Alice and Tristan had a great two days completing the rest of his Open water course.  For his first Open water dives they headed out to Abades with Boy and Melissa. Tristan performed really well on his dive and was happy to have seen a small common ray as well as Cuttlefish and lots of damsels and breams.

Boy was just happy to be in the water again with no skills to perform just having fun waving at the fish again.  He is still over whelmed by how amazing the experience of being under water is.

Then onto dives 2, 3 and 4 for Tristan they headed out to Yellow Mountain, better viz and calmer conditions and Tristan was having lots of fun, they were also accompanied by Boy his last dives for this visit in Tenerife.  Congratulations to Tristan for completing his PADI Open Water course.  He is looking forward to joining us next week for some recreational dives.

Finally we managed to get the boat out of the water, as always lots of fun getting the guys at the Marina to lift the boat, annual maintenance for a few days before it will be back in the water.

We were joined by Kelly and John for their afternoon Discover Scuba Diving session in the pool, they both did realty well and enjoyed the experience with Alice, and were very excited about their early morning trip out to Abades with Alice, Melissa, Cyril, Dallas and Grace.

The sun was shining thankfully for our outing bright and early up to Abades, and the dives were excellent, Melissa headed off with Cyril, Dallas and Grace for some fun dives, they saw some fantastic aquatic life including a shy Black Moray Eel, Gorgeous Anemones with Sexy Shrimp as well as Red Backed Cleaner Shrimp. 

Kelly and John both did really well for their dives in the Sea and both had two wonderful dives with Alice.  They were really happy underwater and are looking forward to moving on to a PADI Open Water Course.

Melissa and Cyril headed off to Las Eras for a wonderful dive a tough current to fight but a great dive where they were able to see lots of Anemones, Hermit Crabs large Baracuda and Trumpet fish as well as a really beautiful cuttlefish.

Bright and early the next day Ana headed down to the pool with Alice to Start her PADI Open Water Course.  Ana was excellent under the water in the pool on her confined sessions.  Ana spent the rest of the first day watching the DVD, and finally sat her exam,

Ana then moved on the next day for her PADI Open Water dives at Girjano Arrecife with Alice and Cyril they had two great dives and were really happy with Ana´s skills

Alice was back off to the pool in the afternoon on the return from  the open water dives with Gary for his Scuba Tune Up.  Gary hadn’t dived for a few years and so brushed up his skills with Alice.  He is really looking forward to heading off to El Puertito to see the Turtles next week.

A great week of diving and lots of fun with great customers.
