Beach BBQ, Assistant Instructor, Wreck, Advanced OW, pool training … phew!

Another really busy weekend at Divecrew.

Tuesday – saw the Social – a little quieter than normally due to the 18 people in the Red Sea. But this did not stop those who attended from putting the world to right and planning their trips for later this year and next. We look forward to hearing the stories from the Red Sea trip next week along with all the pictures and gossip.

Tuesday also say Georgina Ashley, April Stacey, Anna Liniewicz and Steve Hurst sign up for their open water courses. Good luck to all.

Wednesday saw a real achievement for Jo Skerry, she came to us having had a real hard time in the water, and felt she would not achieve anything and went away having completed all 5 modules and now able to finish her course in Thailand. Well Done Jo.

Thursday 9th saw Collin reach the milestone of the ripe old age of 40. Penny kindly arranged a Cake which Collin decided was all his. Champagne flowed throughout the Day – Thanks to all those who popped in and who wished me a Great day.

Bracknell played host to 3 Try Dives, a tune up and Phil and Nicki Croxford stage one of their dry suit course.

And so to the weekend – We took Portland by storm this weekend, with our Advanced Course being lead by Jason and Ashley, a Wreck Speciality lead by Ian and a Pleasure day trip to Chesil beach lead by Andy R.

Well done to Liz Jones, Ashley Heeks, Alida O’Shaughnessy, Emma and Mike Vernon for all passing with flying colours. The weather was great and the Saturday evening BBQ was a huge success.

 

 

 

Meanwhile the Countess was playing her part in the Wreck Speciality – Ian Johstone, Chris Smith and Andre Ayack now know ever inch of the wreck and how more importantly to penetrate a wreck safely and correctly – No mean feat – well done to all.

Simon, Adam and Steve experienced Chesil for the first time – welcome to the world of UK beach diving at it’s best/worse depending on your point of view – glad to hear all had a great time.

Meanwhile down in Vobster Divecrew were busy with Rowland running a Dry Suit Course – Congratulations to Michelle Holmes, Caz Buckley, Nicki and Phil Croxford. Welcome to the delights of UK diving – we look forward to seeing them on our UK day trips. Meanwhile Mike Gale took up the challenge of some UK diving.

Divecrew is pleased to announce 4 new AI’s. Marnie Starr, Lisa Miles, Mia Steward and Duncan Leese please take your places at the AI table – a great job . I particularly liked, however I did notice, and the value to us is, and we can know as divers…. will always hold a special place in their hearts. All good practise for the IE in due course.

Then some fun was had by all with the Scooters and Twin sets.

Well done also to Jason Dixon for passing his DSAT Tec Deep course a few weeks ago out in the Red Sea. One of this dives was carried out with out a Mask on – ouch!!!!

The next Slough course started this weekend – 10 excited new Student divers took to the water in style. Stuart took up the baton of teaching after completing his IE a few weeks ago. Andy R, ably helped by James and Richard put two qualified divers through their paces to ensure they were refreshed for their forth coming holidays – and then moved on to show 6 complete beginners the delights of trying Scuba for the first time.
