Going Dutch!

After a lovely relaxing day off it was back into the water to finish off our PADI Rescue Diver course. 

We took our skills from the marina to the Open Water saving the lives of our fellow interns and Martin.
The highlight of the day was practicing our lifeguard carry.

Jess had 3 great lumps to try and drag on to the boat, which she managed to successfully lift Martin from the water.

Geoffrey gave Todd a massive wedgey to get him on the Boat to put an end to our Rescue course.

We all passed and are now PADI Rescue Divers, well done all!

We had a new arrival joining our Divemaster internship; Suzanne from Holland putting two Dutchies in the office.

Suzanne joined us at Yellow Mountain to have some recreational dives where we saw a black morray and a White Spotted Octopus so not a bad dive at all!

Meanwhile Jess was assisting Pete on Kirsty’s first open water dive.

Kirsty did a fantastic job of her skills and controlling her bouyancy. We had the privilege of seeing a very grumpy Octopus who inked just to let us know quite how much he didn’t appreciate us looking at him!

The following day Kirsty was back in the pool completing her confined water session with Geoffrey and Pete.
Whilst Todd and Jess both assisted Alice with Jennifer and Rory who were ‘Discovering Scuba Diving’.

We headed off to Yellow Mountain, where we joined Todd, Kirsty and Pete.

Kirsty completed her Open Water Course, a huge Well Done to Kirsty who did fantastic and was very popular with the Team.

Rory and Jennifer loved their first open water dives which went really well.

Yellow Mountain is becoming a trusty old favourite dive site.
Every time we visit we notice things that we haven’t previously which makes it that little bit more enjoyable.

We had a day in the shop giving it a thorough spring clean and bringing it back up to standard after some very busy weeks.

We have also had time to practice our skills in the pool in the afternoons which has been very beneficial as we are all seeing improvements.
