Oh Oh - been neglecting the BLOG

Oops - I have been neglecting the blog. Must be something to do with the loads of things that are going on. Right, so where are we ..... nearly at the end of October. Right this month there has been the normal number of courses going on including open water rescue and nitrox as well as a few specialities. And we have taught a Gas Blending course (which we have not done for a while). On the instructor training side of life I ran another IDC (3rd this year amazingly) and had 3 successful candidates.

In the middle of the month we were invited to the launch of the BBC "LIFE" series in Bristol which was great fun (see the photo with some of the team from the Bahamas). Some of the people I had not seen since we started filming years ago (and some even before the filming started!) and it was great to meet up again. The "beeb" took over a nice restaurant/bar in Bristol and after we had had a few drinks we sat and watched the first programme! Kind of a conversation stopper and everyone was trying to find out who had done what! It was not a programme we had been involved in so didn't expect to be in it.

Elsewhere ... we went to the dive show for the first time in a number of years. It was good to meet up with some old friends as well as promote the new boats for next season. Loads of interest I have to say.

Other really interesting stuff ... well Zara bought a drysuit, we became an Advanced Powerboat Training Centre and can also offer instructor courses in powerboating, oh and we published the holidays for next years and virtually filled the trip to Scapa in 4 days. As well as Scapa Flow we have trips in 2010 to Egypt, and the Philippines.
