Sub-Mission Blog has moved

Sub-Mission blog has moved to a new home where it looks nicer, is easier to navigate, easier to find and has loads of great new features.

It is now contained within our website, which is far more logical and can be found here at www.divecourses.co.uk/diveblog

If you signed up for this blog, unfortunately you'll need to sign up again but the new system also features a forum so that you can have your say too.

Check this out at www.divecourses.co.uk/diveblog/forum

Thanks for keeping an eye on this blog and hopefully we'll be able to offer you an ever better blog than before.

Katy

Congratulations to Phill and Lauren for getting engaged…underwater!

Sub-Mission would like to offer massive Congratulations to Lauren and Phill who got engaged underwater last night.

As they are going travelling for a year on Wednesday, it was easy to persuade Lauren that she needed to come along to a pool session to practise her skills with Katy. Little did she know that Phill had been in the pool recently, checking out the dimensions of the deep end of the pool for the banner that was designing and having especially made with ‘Lauren will you Marry Me?’ printed across it.

Half way through the pool session Phill made his excuses and got out of the pool to go and put on his tuxedo. Meanwhile, all of the club members vacated the deep end leaving Katy and Lauren practicing mask removal skills whilst the banner was lowered into the pool.

When Phill was in place on the bottom, ring box in hand in front of the banner, Katy let Lauren put her mask back on and turn around to view the proposal. Of course she said yes and everyone in the pool gave a wild round of applause as the couple sealed it with an underwater kiss!

So gents, Phill has put you all to shame with an amazing and romantic underwater proposal. If anyone has a girlfriend called Lauren and would like to propose, I know where there is a banner going cheap…

We would like to wish the happy couple a magnificent year travelling and all the best for the future together. Watch this space for an underwater wedding!

Congratulations PADI Enriched Air Specialty Divers

2011 has certainly kicked off with a great start, including 5 PADI Enriched Air Certifications completed yesterday. Lauren, Phill, Paul, Sonia and Kieran successfully completed their Specialty to give them the opportunity to dive with Enriched air in the future.


Each of them will now benefit from extended no decompression limits to give them longer on the reef, at depth or even just with the fish at Capernwray.

Each of the students learnt the theory behind enriched air, the benefits and the disadvantages as well as the procedures to obtain and analyse fills. They also learnt how to plan enriched air dives and calculate maximum depth limits.

The use of enriched air will benefit each of them by increasing the time that they will be able to spend underwater enjoying the coral reefs, wrecks and amazing marine life.

Congratulations for all your hard work and getting your heads in the books to pass your PADI Enriched Air Specialty Course so easily.
