Quick Update

Just got back from DEMA and flying out to Egypt tomorrow so thought I would post a quick update. Halloween night was another scarily brilliant function. Lots of people went to a lot of effort to get dressed up. Some didn't but it really didn't matter as it was just great fun. The party went on till the early hours. Photos from the night will be posted on the website when I get back.

The dive centre is still busy even though we are now only weeks away from Christmas with courses galore.

DEMA was a little smaller than usual (still about 4 times the size of the LIDS) which is probably a reflection on the economic crisis - some of the big players like Oceanic and Scubapro had dramatically downsized their stands. It says something when my good friends Mr and Mrs Weezle have a floor space and stand bigger than Aqualung! The news from PADI at the Course Directors update was interesting, including more online training, a revised instructor manual and IDC and lots more developments. The next newsletter will have more details at the end of the month.

So tomorrow morning I am off with the group to Dahab for a week of fun and frolics and of course some excellent diving. We will tell you all about it when we get back - until then byeeee.
