PADI Specialities leading to my PADI Master Scuba Diver

I was off this week on Monday and took the opportunity to complete my Navigation and Boat diver manuals. I was also lucky to be off on Friday and went to Las Galletas with Melissa for the afternoon. We watched the surfers and had lunch overlooking the marina.

This week Gary, Stiven and I did our practical for the Emergency First Response, which we all thoroughly enjoyed. The practical assessment in the shop even had members of the public who were passing stop and enter the shop to see what was going on. Sadly we did not manage to get Resu Annie to breathe again despite our best efforts.

We have been busy with lots of customers this week that have mainly been from the UK. We have also had a customer from Russia. One of the UK customers was Fiona who is an advanced diver but who had not dived for 13 years. Fiona really enjoyed re discovering the magic of the underwater world. She particularly enjoyed the dive at El Peurtito where the turtles were fantastic.

This week we have also dived at Poco Naufragio and Yellow Mountain. We have seen Rays, Parrot fish, Ornate Wrasse and Trumpet fish.

We have also done a Pool skills session with Alice. I had a bit of a nightmare with the flooded mask skill on the second go and ended up with a nose full of pool water. It is an area that I still need to work on. Most of the other skills are coming along but need some work to get the top marks.

On Sunday we dived at El Puertito with Dan, Aidan and Fergus in the afternoon.  It was very hot and the water was so calm and still. The visibility was brillant and the Turtles came to see us and kept coming back. One of the young ones was particularly curious. This is an amazing site which I love going to.

The weather here has been fantastic and the sea temperature is still 21 degrees.

“What are you waiting for come and see some of these amazing dive sites for yourself you will not be disappointed”.
