Thursday 26 November….After a day of servicing and prep. It was great to finish the day (night) with a trip to Dosthill for a night dive. A massive well done and congratulations to Amelia and Paul C on qualifying on their PADI Night Diver Speciality tonight. A challenging standard of night dive, and both excelled, a natural pair of nocturnals. Thanks to Hope who turned out tonight as surface cover for us. A real indicator of the AQT teams professionalism, thanks to Julian and Joe who gave up their time and travelled great distance to help out teaching on tonights night dive, thanks guys !

Friday 20 November… il ya une semaine , pas oublié !

Friday 20 November… il ya une semaine , pas oublié !

Early morning start to the day, with diving action from early dawn, loading and unloading the dive van in the dark, hey ho. Well done today to Rob, Gary and Kirk on their PADI EFR/First Aid course this afternoon. Just a note for our Red Sea expedition team in January, an update from Egyptian Authorities, they’ve introduced a minimum 20 logged dives for the Thistlegorm, I believe only affects one person, and we can remedy that beforae we go. Busy day tomorrow with more new intrepid adventurers to this great sport, so for the vets, dont sit around, come join us for some fun dives, before that xmas shopping appointment looms.

Weds 18 November….Running around all day with dive cylinders

Weds 18 November….Running around all day with dive cylinders, good to get into the water this evening. Well done to Amelia and Paul C on their PADI Night Diver Speciality dives tonight at the Cove. Two great dives, lots of Pike about, like a stroll in the park, except it was dark, oh and no sunshine, ok more like a night dive then. Well done guys it was made so easy for us. Thanks to Julian for his help, and cakies. It was kind of Steve P (completed O/W course last week) to send a photo from Miami of himself and partner Laura, warmer than our night dive, by the looks of it !
