New divers sign in at the Dive Centre

Every few days we get new divers signing in fr our boat dive trips. Today it was the turn of  Wolfgang and Annette  . Initially we thought maybe a medium sized BCD.  but it turned out  that a large was needed . See Generio helping Wolfgang to check out BCD sizes

Wednesday morning 7th March 2018

We had a boat dive with 9am check in and 09.30m boat departure to 2 different sites this morning.
Sabrina got bust with the Dive Site plan and description

Sabrina starting the dive site maps 

Once competed it is a bit easier for divers to visualize the actual dive sites

Dive 1 Conception Island  south point ...........a long distance site. Dive 2 is Matoopa point 

Both dives had shark and lots of fish and good viability so everyone was happy.
Just before departure we had a lot of activity on the beach due to local fishermen setting out nest and hauling them in with their  fish catch

Beach activity due  to local fishermen 

Pool training and afternoon boat dives

The program for  non certified dives and those that may have a certification but have not dived for a while is very popular.
 A simple overview of basic SCUBA theory, a practical session to explain all the gear .how it works and what all the bits are for  followed by a pool training session in the BERJAYA hotel pool in the morning
 Once everyone is feeling comfortable they are then booked onto the afternoon boat dive

Darius and the 3 boys complete their pool session and look forward to the boat dive

Crazey February is over

We were expecting a quiet February and a build up for Easter  but it was not to be .   February turned out to be the busiest ever on record ..no time for photos or blog!! sorry .
 March has started slowly so several staff are on well deserved rest days off work ..but the rest keep busy.   The latest batch of tanks  for Hydro static testing are currently with Seychelles Bureau of Standards ......... should keep us good till June when the  next load are due. Just tank valve servicing  to do now .as well as checking equipment and painting and  decoration 

Darius checking BCD low power inflation systems are working correctly

 

Mike seems happy to be painting
