Congratulations to Christine Birtles for completing her PADI Open Water referral course at Octopus Bay in sunny Alicante. After a determined effort in the confined water sessions, Christine was ready for the open water (although it’s not yet clear whether the open water was ready for
her) and she sailed through the skills once the sea was calm enough to complete the course. Impressively the shared air exercise was completed whilst an inquisitive octopus came and wrapped itself around her buddy’s arm!
A big well done to Christine, and we hope to see a demonstration of her perfect giant stride very soon…
