Monday 2 June…Well it started with sunshine

by Dive LeicesterUncategorized
Monday 2 June…Well it started with sunshine, but by the time we reached Stoney Cove after lunch, it was all grey again. Picture proves me taking to the water after 3 weeks in the dry, looks like I’m waterskiing. We laid a great treasure trail for the upcoming Deep dive Speciality course etc starting at the Hydrobox and around the hole, let’s hope the clues survive the week. Thanks to Jonathon and Trevor for help in laying the trail. Just a heads up…we are just jiggling around with our Facebook pages and groups, if you miss a posting for a short while don’t worry, we are revamping and improving our presence.

Thursday 29 May…No break in the weather today then, just same old drizzle. Nevertheless, a big well done and congratulations to Paul and Jim (photo) on achieving their PADI Rescue diver qualification today at Stoney Cove. A cosy start developing into a crescendo of rescue scenarios, and both displaying a seamless transition from the prep skills in the pool. It’s been a good 2 days at Stoney with 2 courses displaying such high proficiency.
