Saturday 9 May… A day full of activity here at the school, so thanks to the Julian and Joe for a team effort in handling all comers. Welcome and well done to Dan on his PADI Scuba Review today. Congratulations and well done to Laraine and Gary on completion of their PADI Open Water course with us. We are now offering the New NAS/PADI Wreck detective Speciality course, have a look at our website for details.
Friday 8 May….A buzzing day, (and not forgetting V.E. Day today) lots of peeps visiting and a string of mail and phone calls, is this the summer awakening ? Welcome and Well done to Laraine and Gary on the start of their PADI Open Water course, and to Jess on her PADI Scuba Review today. Nice to see Beverley, Kim n Dean who also dropped by to see us. It looks like its going to be a sizzler week next week, we will be diving and sunning n socialising, so come join us for a course or escorted dive.
Thursday 6 May…Back to normal today with a super day at stoney Cove, sunshine and good viz on the shelf. Congratulations to Darryl on certifying on his PADI FFM Speciality today at the cove. First photo looks like a line up for a free-kick, but check out the viz on the other photo. Thanks to Joe S for the help today. Time to shake off the winter dust and come diving.
Weds 5 May…Only 3 hours sleep and straight back into teaching here in the UK, and its a little brrrr. Well done to Claire and Myles on their PADI EFR/Rescue prep course today, and well done to Darryl and Joe on the PADI Full Face Mask Speciality here in the pool. A very busy day answering calls and replying to emails, and good to hear that the season is gathering momentum. Lots of diving and trips looming, so come and join us.
Monday 4 May…Still glorious here in the Red Sea, have put together video from beginning of this trip, http://youtu.be/e_qe4MPhRqY a little cheesy but hope you like it, just to show those who have not joined us on a trip here yet, just how easy it is to go diving here (we are planning a November, hotel based trip) For those seasoned Red Sea veterans of Feb 2015, and those off again on the Jan 2016, we hope some of the boat dive videos this week, will be of interest too.
Easy Sharm dive with aquatechnique
Sunday 3 May….Super day here in the Red Sea, a little cooler at 34C topsides and 27C water temp, excellent diving here, including making a number of videos, we are struggling to upload here as the signal keeps dropping out, and the resultant delay is like the secret of longevity, will have sorted by tomorrow. Met some great people today adding to our group, including Trond and his wife from Norway, a real hawkeye for those elusive and rare creatures. Only a few days left before its back to 8C water temp, oh and a couple of UK trips for May, so come on down !
Saturday 2 May…Another glorious day in paradise at 38C, hope the Bank holiday break is goo in the UK too. Having trouble uploading videos here as signal weak, but here’s one of Chris organising divers and equipment, “working” you might say, on the first day here in the Red Sea.
Friday 1 May….Far more settled this morning, and a busier day with a number of boats out on site. For those joining us in Jan 2016 on the liveaboard, there was even more sharkies here on Jackson Reef than last trip, with reports of sightings of an array of species here in the ladt week. Trying to upload video this evening and post if signal.Back in the UK..well done to Tony on completing his PADI Open Water course, have a super time in Dubai next week.
Thursday 30 April….Windy day here, reduced ambit of the dives today, but no less pleaureable on the reefs round Tiran. Things are undersubscribed this week in Egypt,with hotels very quiet, but very peaceful and leisurely (photo of empty pool after days diving). Meanwhile back at home…well done to Tony on his PADI Open Water course today. There’s lots of courses, including specialities on when back next week, running through May and June, so have a think about what you’d like to do, and join us for some fun.
Weds 29 April….Its a scorcherooni special here in Egypt with 37/38 C degrees today. The diving is exceptional as usual, after 37 years of diving here, multi times every year, it is still one of the most excellent dive destinations you will find. Photos to follow tomorrow, but wanted to post this photo sent by Neet yesterday, and say a big well done to her in completing her PADI Open Water qualification, in Belize, now back in the UK and joining us for her PADI Advanced course. Also included photo loading up the boat for our dives today, a mammoth task of cylinder collection, normally undertaken at home by ourselves, but so effortless watching someone else doing it for us.
