December 16th 2008

Gus, Nadine, Vic and Guy all completed their Enriched Air Nitrox with Adam. Here's to longer recreational bottom times, less nitrogen etc etc ...... nitrox rocks!

November 29th - December 4th

What a week. 5 guys (who have to remain nameless) completed their Open Water and Advanced Open Water courses in 6 days, in preparation to go on an expedition. The challenge was even greater given that the weather was freezing - water temps of 6 degrees and land -2 degrees one morning .... oh yes, and they were not all keen on water to say the least! True respect as they all conquered fears and made it down to the bottom on their deep dive at Vobster with smiling faces.
Thank you to Disco, John, and our superb assistants. I have just abouth thawed out now!
Vic also completed his AOW at Vobster too - well doen mate and see you diving soon.

November 29th / 30th

On a chilly, wintry weekend our 3 intrepid divers achieved awesome results at Wraysbury!
Vic completed his open water course, his dry suit specialty and embarked on his AOW with Nick. Meanwhile, Mark and Guy completed their UW Navigation specialty with Lynne .... a tip for next time... read the bearing not the distance! Their final navigation was superb and a real achievement. True mastery.
