Saturday 8 June…Here in Begur it rained torrents and the wind got up overnight, we had a super dive though on Ilya Noir and spotted free swimming Rays. Well done to Sammy,Ryan, Mark, Sophie and Beani. lots of GoPro footage from 2cameras. An absolutely stunning location, well worth revisiting later in the season, really friendly dive centre who hosted our group for today’s diving. Moving up the coast again tomorrow.
Friday 7 June…Another super day in sunshine land, even braved a wetsuit for a group snorkel this afternoon, looking forward to a couple of new dive sites in the morning, with a new dive operator.
Thursday 6 June…We left the marina in bright sunshine and within 40 minutes we were shrouded in sea-mist here in France, rather curtailed the offshore diving and headed back to the coast for some stunning arched swim throughs and caves galore. A lot of lugging of kit today as we are off over the border tomorrow to try out a couple of days on new dive sites
Wednesday 5 June…Well we’re here after one hellish airport fiasco, our local UK airport is in dire need of a logistics overall, they won’t manage the summer footfall.
Anyway, relaxing on the beach in glorious sunshine, 27 degrees. We’re calling this prep for tomorrow’s diving, but just an excuse for some R n R. Although the Uk is also bathed in sunshine, we ended our day with a rain dance for you all
Tuesday 4 June…Late night posting, just unloaded the dive van after Scouts group scuba session, last meeting for summer, have a great camp ! It’s also the eve of our June dive trip and its up early for the airport, just time to pack some things. Look out for our new PADI Full face mask n comms course ready now…and our new SSI Freediving training course (breatholding, not freebie that is).
Monday 3 June…Easy day today, enjoying the sunshine, Stoney was an absolute picture today, great vis this afternoon and only 5 pairs diving. Well done to Phil B who’s started his Divemaster internship with us today.
Thursday 30 May…Stoney cove in the drizzle again, it’s becoming harder to sell this prospect to open water referral students, well done to Kevin and Steve on their mapping exercise this morning. Afternoon in the warmth of the pool and classroom for Rescue skills and 2 more days at Stoney…sunshine is promised….baaaagh !
Tuesday 28 May…Did I say it was too good to last ? Anyway for part of the team Plymouth was fantastic over the weekend, well done guys. A day of reg servicing and drysuit repairs, battled with a dry zip for 2 hours, worse than a freshwater eel. Well, we have open water dives this week, just befitting the weather…still living the dream !
