Actually the training began for some of our trainees on Friday night when chairs were upended in a local B+B for line-laying practice!

Sports Diver trainees completed two of their open water lessons, towing SMBs around the rock, laying line and simulating deco in fine style. Russell achieved the long-awaited goal of completing his twinset course and Andre took another step towards being our next Dive Leader. Overall, a thoroughly productive day.

It's always a privelege to train while listening to the Humpback Whales underwater. The delicious snacks went down just as well as they usually do and Rod and the team did their best to help us get through our busy schedule in the midst of their own.
