I have just returned to Mermaid Diving having done my Divemaster Internship this time last year and my Instructors development course in December. I received a very warm welcome from Melissa and it feels like I have never been away. I have also met Divemaster Randall and two Divemaster interns Flounder and Buzz.
Our first dives were to Radazul with Ian and his son Zippy a former intern. It was Zippy’s first time back in 2 years. This was a new dive site for me and is situated by a marina in the north. There was a large amount of fish which included Trumpet fish and Ornate Wrasse. It is also popular with other divers and dive companies.
The following day we travelled to Tabaiba in the north and visited a wreck that has been properly prepared and sunk for divers to visit. It sits in 30 metres of water. It is always an interesting site to visit.
This week I have taught an emergency first responder course for 3 people. The post man did give us some funny looks as someone was attempting rescue breaths on Resu Annie in the shop when he arrived. I have also taught the full open water for Buzz who has really impressed me with his calm manner in which he tackles everything. I have also taught a rescue course in the marina and in open water at Abadaes.
This week I have also made 3 visits to hotel pools to do taster sessions for Discover Scuba diving.
I have really enjoyed my first week back at Mermaid diving. The whole team are really friendly and supportive. The weather here has been fantastic for the last 10 days with hot days and clear blue skies. The water temperature is currently 19 degrees with good visibility and the diving has been fantastic.
It just leaves me to say “ What are you waiting, come out and join us and have some fun in the underwater kingdom”
