Sunday 5 March….Good to be inside teaching today for a change. Welcome and well done to Amarpreet on his PADI Open Water course today. Will try to have the March newsletter published tomorrow or Tuesday, so keep your eyes out for new dive trips and equipment bargains. Next months trip is to e Medes Islands for a weekend or longer if you have time off, so keep a look out for details on FB.
Saturday 4 March….A lovely day….but, teaching inside, looks like we save all open water dives for when its raining at the mo. Well done today to Ian and Jamie on their PADI Enriched air/Nitrox course today, all tabled out now. Added a link to some of the Pics from Red Sea trip 3 weeks ago https://youtu.be/KaKFoRPkwFU. Great news for our Red Sea Liveaboard in Jan 2018, lots of our friends are going again (awaiting a Flecktonian response however). All will be really pleased I think, at our options. Good to see Paul C and Richie this morning and taking to the waters at the Cove.
Friday 3 March….A dismal rainy day at the Cove today, but it didn’t deter our students. Well done to Tom on his PADI Drysuit Speciality and to David on his PADI Archaeology Diver course. Training in the dry/pool for the next few days, quite welcome after todays weather.
lots more diving going on, shake off the winter cobwebs and come join us for some diving fun !
Thursday 2 March…Just managing to catch up on some of the servicing, seems an increase here this year, so its good that more people are actvely diving during the colder months. Welcome and well done to Joe and Roger on their PADI Open Water course today and to David on his PADI Archaeology diver Speciality. Nice to see Catherine from Blue O Two travel consultants. All our friends travelling on Jan 2018 Liveaboard will be pleased to take advantage of some great deals with us.
Monday 27 February….This is proving an unprecedented start to the new year, the school has been exceptionally busy throughout Jan/Feb, and bookings for March/April are filling the calendar. Its great to be able to welcome so many to this super sport. A really busy weekend, and today, means congratulations to Abigail, Sarah, Simon, Derek, and James on completing their PADI Open Water Referral course with us, and Allan on his Nitrox Speciality. Thanks to Peter n Julian for their help teaching, and for all the goodies. Another photo from our recent trip to Red Sea, incidentally, its running again in Jan 2018, hope many will join us.
Friday 24 February….Sorry, missed a few days posting, away on a commercial diving job, leaving others teaching here. As you see from photo, our first sign is up for the new place, and in between teaching/diving we only have to move shop and equipment. It is with great pleasure to announce (some of the team are already aware), that two of our Instructors; Abby and Joe, are to tie the knot (having learned how to in dive training) and are to wed in August. Will need to polish up one of our white dive vans for then ?
Monday 20 February….Nice to have a touch of spring in the air. Welcome and well done to Charlotte, Emily and John on their PADI Open Water/Drysuit course today in the pool, sorry forgot to photograph. Off to Coventry this evening for a youth group of Discover Scuba candidates, a late finish for us.
Friday 17 February….A really rewarding day of diving today at the Cove. Well done to Tony N and Dan today and cogratulations to Dan in qualifying as PADI Open Water Diver. Well done to Peter, Joe and Julian today at the Cove and thanks to Gary our Course Director for his help today. Hope to announce the opening date for the new shop soon, we are still moving stock etc in between diving. Looks like January 2018 the Red Sea will be the destination for this regular dive trip, hope many of our vets/friends will be able to join us once again.
Thursday 16 February….Well we seem to be extra busy for the first quarter of this year, bookings are certainly up, and we look forward to welcoming lots of new faces to the sport. In between all this we are in process of moving our shop, and do hope many of you will see it as a convenient place to drop in for a chat, coffee and see our array of new stock. Busy few days ahead, with everyone working extra hours to pack it in, even the dive dog Mex is involved (photo). Come and join us for some fun diving, the weather is spring like !
Weds 15 Feb….welcome to weds night dive at the Cove, not one for the faint hearted, and not like last weeks night dives in the Red Sea. Thought we would try out some of the new equipment launched on the market. https://youtu.be/ZxVu39LOSBY
