The Three Musketeers.

The pressure is on now we are soon to be down to three interns.

We started our week by heading out for Yellow Mountain. The three musketeers being Geoffrey, Todd and Jess had two great dives stalking 3 Octopus’s watching them changing colour, crawl up rocks and finally swim off. The biggest must have been a good meter long.

Jess went of to El Puertito with Grace and Frankie. They had great dives seeing the turtles and an octopus whilst Todd and Geoffrey went to Poco Naufargio and Pequeno Valley where there where stingrays, black morray, fangtooth morray, nudi branks and all your local fishes.

The interns and Louie where off to Abades to do the Project AWARE dive, cleaning the ocean to make it a better place for everyone.  Luckily Abades doesn’t have to much rubbish and we came back with a few items each!

It was Gracie’s last day of diving so we where practising our peak performance buoyancy by floating on or heads and using each other as DPV catching a ride around the dive site.
We had to say farwell to Grace she will be missed she was a great role model and Divemaster.

Back to Yellow Mountain, the interns playground, where we practiced our navigation and mapping skills around Crocodile rock all went well and we made it back to the boat!

We where treated to going to Las Eras, with Mark a customer, a great dive site with tonnes of fish.
On entry there where hundreds of barracuda. We saw Stingrays, 3 moray eels, an octopus, cuttle fish and cleaner shrimp.

The other dive site there was the Pipeline where the underwater creatures have made home. There we saw a fangtooth morray, an octopus and a streaked gurnard our first one so it was great!

Off we set to try and earn our SMB speciality. It was great fun trying to erect our sausages. After many attempts we got there with Geoffrey’s looking abit limp! A sting ray even turned up to say hello.

On the last day of this diving packed week we started our PADI Rescue course in the marina joined by Martin another returning customer, playing dead and giving each other the kiss of life.

We finally then attempted to snorkel 800m, attempted being the main word. Work to do on that one!

More next week.
