Congratulations PADI Rescue Divers and PADI Open Water Divers

What a great weekend it was to be out diving. The water temperature has reached a balmy 9 degrees and the sun was shining. We had two courses running this weekend and huge congratulations go to the PADI Rescue Divers, Kelly and Rob as well as the PADI Open Water Divers; Stefan, Louise, Joe, Rob and Paul.


Kelly and Rob were raring to go on Saturday morning and after being drilled on tired diver, panicked diver, surfacing an unresponsive diver, unconscious diver at the surface as well as getting an unconscious diver onto the side, they were both worn out but with a great sense of achievement. They simulated rescuing someone who was unconscious and worked brilliantly together to give this victim the best possible chance. We are confident in their rescue ability and would recommend them as a dive buddy to anyone. Well done PADI Rescue Divers.

The PADI Open Water Students were sensational; there were no problems or difficulties with any of the skills. Although they were a little apprehensive on Saturday morning, by the end of the weekend they were looking like confident divers. The Instructors were very impressed by their ability but it shows the hard work that they put in during the pool sessions was worth it. Four of the five also completed the PADI Drysuit Specialty on Sunday and enjoyed the delights of the new plane during their dive. We are hoping these five will enjoy many more dives with the club and get stuck in with the PADI Advanced Open Water Course.
