The Fantastic 4

Time to knuckle down!

Jeffrey had the pleasure of diving at El Puertito where he got to see turtles for the first time, an amazing experience!

Along with Michelle, Georgia, Frankie and Melissa who all had a lovely day.
Todd visted Star Fish Bay and Las Galletas where he saw moray eels, octopus and a ray, a fantastic day for him!

In the afternoon the three of us and Hayley began our EFR course beginning with all of us passing our exams and starting on the practical which caused much hilarity.

We continued the practical the following afternoon and are now all qualified Emergency First Responders!
After which we said a sad goodbye to Hayley who is off to finish her travels.

The remaining bunch becoming the Fantastic 4: Jess, Todd, Jeffery and Gracie!

Todd had another turn at boat cover after falling asleep the first time!! Uh Oh! Fortunately he did much better this time!
Jess dived at Yellow mountain and Crocodile Rock after doing a Bubble maker with Alice and William which was so enjoyable.

In the mean time Jeffrey was at Las Eras, diving with Teide Divers as well. He had an amazing time as did the customers. Following a pipeline where they saw all sorts of amazing under water life including, octopus, a sting ray, lots of scorpion fish and barracuda.

Jeffrey did three dives at Abades with Melissa, Gracie and Frankie. All  having great fun reverting to being children again!

Jess’ step Dad, Carl, came in to do a DSD, Gracie did a great job of leading his confined water skills, making him feel at ease and excited. Then we were off to Yellow Mountain along with Alistair and Stuart who are doing their Open Water Course and their Dad Archie.
They all did a really great job on their first open water dives. Despite Carl trying to lose a fin and his weight belt, maybe he was leaving a trail in case he escaped us?

Had a lovely Sunday doing three dives at Abades; Jeffrey, Todd, Jess, Gracie and Gaz. Todd and Jess each briefed and lead a dive for the first time, which was exciting and thankfully went without a hitch. We got to see a cuttle fish eat a small fish and then bury itself in the sand which was really cool.

Jess had the opportunity to do boat cover for the first time, quickly realising that something needs to be done about her noodle arms after nearly falling in trying to get the anchor up!
Jeffrey was busy learning to use a compass for his PADI Advanced Diver Course and Todd watched the Divemaster DVD enlightening him as to exactly what the course entails.

On our last day of the week Jeffery broaden his knowledge by becoming the boatman learning the logistics.

Jess dived at Yellow Mountain and helped out in the pool assisting her first Open Water in which they both did great jobs.
Todd got to go off to see the turtles, which was great. You need a restraining order to get them away from you, they wouldn’t leave us alone!

Melissa and Todd had three great customers: Steve, Charles Xavier and Edward.

The Turtles decided to sit on our heads, hit us with their fins and follow us for 20 minutes!

What an experience!
