Divemaster working hard

Getting the dive out can mean a lot of hard work. The boys use their super strength to carry 2 bottles at a time !!!   something I can never do !!

Dive Master trainee Montel is happy to help

George comes back to complete AOW course

 We love when divers have  return visits  and its great to see Georg back with us.
 Last time he did the |Open water diver course . This time its the Advanced Open Water course

Slowly Backing the dive boat up to the beach

The weather has turned fabulous...blue skies, too much sun!!  and calm seas  so off to SHARK BANK  and Rays Point. YES lots of fish, rays, and several sharks were seen!!

 So here they all come back to the Dive Centre.

Sometimes we do get a few quiet moments at the Dive Centre  and get to make friends .

Alex is from Venice , Italy and local skipper Nickermann  getting to know each other

Alex is studying  to become a Dive Master. Nickerman wants to increase his CV with Rescue Diver  and Dive Master 

Love the banana shoes

 I just had to take a photo of the Banana shoes...........I think they are just wonderful

If I knew how to get them in from china I would retail them !!

Stormy Day maintenance

During the NW Monsoon sometimes we get a good storm passing through ...especially if there is a cyclone to the south around Madagascar and Mauritius. So if not diving there is always something to do . Today was no exceptions. 1/2 the staff are training in the swimming  pool  to get ready for PADI certification tomorrow and the others are busy doing repair work and maintenance .

Our newest staff members Kevin and Dean are busy giving equipment racks a new coat of paint

 We had a very busy morning today  working on equipment room a, compressor room and outside wash bins

Dive Master Mike and trainee Ro give the wash basin a fresh coat of colour

Last job is repaint the tools board ..Kevin gets as much paint on his hand and on the board!
