El Puertito and the Turtles... do we have to get out of the water????

This week has been great here at Dive and Sea Tenerife we have been having fantastic dives with a great group of customers and as usual the sun has been shining.

Lynn and Paul joined us this week for a week of diving Lynn is a divemaster and Paul an Open Water diver.  So the team headed off them Chris and Sam for two dives at Yellow Mountain.  They had two great dives and they came across a Dusky Grouper, Common Ray, Cuttlefish, Red Reef Lobster, Octopus and two Brown Moray Eels.

Stiven was studying hard back at the dive centre in the afternoon he has completed his Emergency first response manual and started watching the Rescue DVD.  Lots of studying for everyone.

Susie and her son Finley joined us for their Discover Scuba Diving Experience at Abades, This was a great experience for Stiven to watch and assist Alice.  They had a great dive and there was lots to see including Red Back cleaner shrimp and Moray Eels.

In the afternoon Stiven was back at Abades this time with Melissa for one dive with Fiona and Scott.  Fiona completed her scuba tune up at the weekend and so was eager to get into the ocean to try out her skills again.  Fiona did really well and was very happy back under the water.  On the dive they were happy to see Anemones, redbacked Cleaner shrimp and octopus

On Friday everyone had a well deserved break, giving Pete a chance to catch up on all his paperwork etc.

The interns had a fun pool session with Alice, and are really starting to improve on the skills, its amazing how quickly they have improved and now are just starting to work on demonstrating the skills.  After a hard session in the pool, Gary and Stiven were studying hard to sit their exams in the afternoon.  Gary completed his Rescue Exam and Stiven the Emergency first response.  Well done to them both.

Melissa, headed off to El Puertito with Stiven, Patrick Aidan, Fergus, and Dan.  They had the best visibility that we have seen all year and they got some great video.  We could all have stayed under water all afternoon just watching the baby turtle swimming around.  It was so nice to have such good visibility you could sea halfway across the bay, and with the sun shining we could not have asked for a better experience   Everyone had a great afternoon, and the team didn't even object to their late finish!
