Spot the Difference

The dangerous 4 have gone down to terrorize Dale in Portland this week for a bit. 4 of the staff have decided to do a bit of diving. Ginger Phil decided to do some impressions on the way back from the dive site by falling out of the rib at 35 knots - so why don't you try and spot the difference. We found it really hard. Give up? Ginger Phil is the one immediately below, the other picture is of a bouncing bomb.

Open Water and PADI Deep Diver Speciality Success

Many congratulations to our newest batch of 6 open water students who successfully completed their training with us yesterday. Also to the divers on the Deep Diver Specilaity that was held at Chepstow (for a change).

Egypt "Whirlwind" Trip and Malta Photos

Just to let you know, the photos of the Egypt "Whirlwind" trip in May and the Malta trip in June are now in the gallery. Sorry it has taken a while to get them posted - could say it was due to a technical hitch, but in reality we have just been really busy and not had the time to do it. I have also published the trip report for Malta in the holiday section.

More course success

Many congratulations to all the students over the last couple of weeks who have passed courses. With the water temperature in Vobster a tropical 18 degrees and visibility nearing 10 meters everyone had a great time, and special congratulations to Connie who qualified as Junior Scuba Diver. Well done.

Two more PADI Instructors

Many congratulations to Andy and Phil on successfully completing the final parts of the Instructors Exam yesterday. Andy, an experienced BSAC Advanced Instructor, and Phil, who is equally experienced on the military and commercial diving side of life, both had a bit of bad luck in Bristol last month and had to come back and do one segment of the 2 day exam. We were there to encourage and support them and as our very busy season continues, we look forward to seeing them teaching in the dive centre in due course. Well done guys.

wah hay ... it's bloomin windy!

Yes the weather was a tad on the blowy side, but it didn't stop us. An all girl course finished with 2 Scuba Divers and 3 Open Water divers. It was a bit of a trek because with Horsea closing we had to go slightly further afield but once the logistics had been sorted out it all went well.
The wind and the weather threatened to blow out our try dive pool at Gunwharf, but we got lucky. The sun was shining on the Saturday and after about 12.00 on the Sunday it dried up and the kids started jumping in. So while it would have been nice to have had great sunshine and no wind or rain it didn't dampen spirits and was still a great success. Many thanks to everyone who helped us out over the weekend - we hope you had some fun.
