Divemaster getting closer each day :-)

Mermaid_Diving_PADI-Divemaster_Internship_Tenerife_Weekly_Blog_Blinky_week_7


This week two former female PADI Divemaster interns (yes there are those) joining us, Oz from Poland and Ck from England. Melissa definitely need an operation of her eyes and finally got a doctor’s appointment. When is the operation? Who knows, but I guess it will take a while. Definitely no more diving with Melissa.

Monday: I do the stamina skill 400 m for the dive master I get a three, 1 ½ minute slower than when I began. Stupid as I am I burn myself the first lengths going too fast. A little hard to swallow, I guess I have a little competition Devil in me after all…

Tuesday: El Puertito nice dive with Ck and Oz, Tinman snorkelling above us. Saw two cuttlefish fighting, or what did they do? We saw a ray and of course turtle! Visibility great, best since I started diving here! Nice dive, search and recovery for me at the end. Second dive turtle again. Did rescue exercise seven in the end Ck played injured.

In the afternoon Tinman and me go to a hotel pool to promote Mermaid diving centre. Tinmans in the pool there are some finnish girls, a polish and a Scottish guy who did the try dives. Maybe the Scottish guy is a former customer? Everybody liked it though.

Wednesday: To the Poco Naufragio Tinman, Ck and Oz go down to the wreck. I dive with Johnny who dive his first dive since his open water. His a little bit nervous, but are doing fine. We saw two Rays Trumpetfish and Barracuda. Good dive. . Second dive, Drift dive at Pequino valle Best dive on this site! We go a little bit further out and way. Good visibility, cool valleys, blue anemones and Barracuda.

Thursday: Training in the pool with Melissa doing the skills that´s going to be scored during the dive master course. Good training and good to see Melissa in the water even though it´s just the pool.

Friday: To Radazul with two Norwegians. They get a little bit surprised when I speak Swedish to them, the languages are very similar. Good visibility, didn´t see anything special a big Barracuda and of course the Christmas tree. One of the Norwegians pick a lot of junk from the bottom mainly bottles.

Saturday: Diving with Kevin who has dived a little bit before with a friend, catching lobsters in north of England. His never gone a diving course so now his doing his PADI Open Water course, good move. Pool sessions and Kevin doing his skills

Sunday: We go to Abades, Tinman Kevin and me I do my mapping skill behind, Tinman and Kevin do a fun dive. Then the second Kevin do his skills and I continue to finish my mapping.

What else? Been out with the girls and Melissa a couple of times in San Blas. Not the same places as when I was out with the guys, nice though. We went to a Tapas place good food, but expensive!
Still take a cortado lech y leche and maybe a small beer or two… or three
The boat still there, and I past the written dive master test!

Congratulations (!),

Blinky, who is closer to be a professional…
