Tuesday 9 December…Well finally

Tuesday 9 December…Well finally, after 2 full days of survival in the swimming pool boiler room, the revamped pipework and new filter is installed. Only the new boiler to be installed, and all is done. Back into Open Water tomorrow and the next few days of teaching. We have a special discounted range of winter courses to tempt you, including First Aid, O2 Admin, Tech, Nitrox etc. so watch out for any that take your fancy.

Saturday 6 Dec….A cold start

Saturday 6 Dec….A cold start to the day but soon warmed up with the sunshine and antics of the three musketeers; Trudy, Jenny and Grant on their PADI EFR/first aid course today. let’s all pray they never hear “Man Down” for all our sakes. Have posted another one of our videos due to popular demand, have toned down the sound track, some felt the Carribean soundtracks were a misrepresentation in the winter time.

Tuesday 2 December…Well,

Tuesday 2 December…Well, we may be landlocked here in Leicester, and so you have to take advantage of settled weather and make a dash to the coast, thats just what we did today, down to Hampshire/Dorset for some dive fun. The local dive shop TAL Scuba was really friendly, met some great people. Lots more diving back in Leicester too, lots of courses, take your pick and join us !

Sunday 30 November another session

Sunday 30 November another session in the swimming pool boiler room, with a revamped plant system. Thought we would post another of our DVD extracts for you to look at, three of our Open water students on their first open water dive on the Submarine, I think you will agree they look very proficient. It’s not time to hibernate yet it’s still pleasant diving at the cove, so join us for your Drysuit course or your Advanced course.
