Congratulations Sub-Mission Students

PADI Open Water Divers

Congratulations to Ben and Emily who certified as PADI Open Water Divers last weekend. The two teenagers had flown through the pool skills and were really keen to get into the open water and experience diving in a more realistic environment.

They completed their dives at Eccleston Delph, where the visibility was much better than expected. Ben and Emily got to explore underwater, finding many of the interesting features such as the tank, the containers and the playground where they were both keen to get on the see saw!

The two of them were brilliant at the skills and certainly made it very easy students to teach. The buoyancy skills demonstrated by both of them was certainly amongst the best that we have seen this year.

Well done for your hard work and we’re glad to say that you are both now PADI Open Water Divers!

PADI Enriched Air Specialty Divers

Sub-Mission would like to congratulate the PADI Enriched Air Specialty students for their success last week. In preparation for holidays and longer UK dives; Simon, Paul and Paul completed the course to make the most out of their dive time.

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.

At the request of Simon, they also completed the course using Enriched Air Computers instead of the PADI Enriched Air Tables, giving them less time planning dives and more time in the water.



PADI Wreck Specialty Divers

The new plane at Capernwray is a great feature to learn wreck techniques on and Sub-Mission students had a blast on Saturday getting to grips with mapping, line laying and exploring every nook and cranny of it.

Paul, James, Ant, Giles, Barry, Paul and Tim were great PADI Wreck Specialty students who enthusiastically threw themselves in to each task presented to them. They showed efficient and cohesive team work, especially during the actual penetration of the wreck. There were some moments of entanglement as they began to learn the techniques of reeling along the outside but soon mastered it.

The staff had a great day with the PADI Wreck Specialty students so thanks very much and congratulations.

PADI Advanced Open Water Students

Well done to those students who were busy over the weekend completing the PADI Advanced Open Water Course and Adventure Diver.

Sharon, Kate, Sophie, Lee, Nick and Geoff all completed the core Deep and Navigation Dives and then chose to also try their hand at photography, peak performance buoyancy, drysuit, search & recovery and wreck diving.

There were some cracking photo’s taken over the photography dives with some hopefully making their way onto the flickr account some time soon.

Syd also managed to tie the students up in knots with underwater searching as well as rigging a lift bag and bringing it to the surface.

Again, a great set of students who kept the staff laughing throughout the weekend!
