Close of Season in France

Tuesday – Em in S.France, 31degrees (what are we doing in the UK ?), She is moving the boat to a new quay, easier access for all, and closing dive Ops there for winter. Night dive lecture for dive club this pm, only 7 takers, if you’re joining us on a Night dive (as season is starting), you really need to come along to the theory prep its FREE. Well done to Phil n Anthony in pool this afternoon, who favoured MaccyD’s to waiting around for tonights theory, beginning to wish I had joined them !!

Seaside or Stoney (hard to tell)

Monday – Stoney Cove with waves today ! Still, nice and calm under the bus stop (see photo) and sun beaming through water, well done Simon on PADI advanced course, the photo option worked well. Excellent work by Faye on her Navigation speciality, although the windy weather produced some err… serious compass deviations, hhmmm ?

Let the force be with you !

Monday – First Aid/EFR course this am and pm. Chris managed the perfect comatose body for the course, as still recovering from Sundays diving. Em managed to mimic a traction patient on the course as a result of the slope at Dosthill. Congrats to the Jedi master who has finally felt the force, and has become a PADI Divemaster professional. Well deserved and well earned, thanks 4 all the help. Well done Vince Food !! (see photo hmmm standard AQT pose) ——>

 

 

 

Chris gives photo posing classes as an add on to the standard lectures, as you can see above, even the Jedi has adopted it. (however the haircut is his own)
