And more Castaways
Check out the start of Castaway's web site... I'm top right, left of me is one of our instructors, Paul, and left of him is Steve. Honestly though, our own mothers wouldn't recognise us! www.castawaydivers.com
Castaways
Well we just survived a week with a mad group of divers from Leicester - Castaways. There were plenty of laughs, some great diving - fortunately they weren't mad in the water - and lots of singing too - on the boat, in the water, in the pub - there was no stopping them. Thanks to Jim for organising the trip and to all of you for being such good fun. Next time, I know to have a wig at the ready, and maybe take some singing lessons first. We're looking forward to seeing the rest of the photos with just a little trepidation....

Ciao and Good Luck
(Yes, we do use the Italian 'ciao' here in Spanish Tenerife). After15 months as our primary instructor, Andrea has decided to move on and try something a little different for a while at least - though in an area she used to work in before dive instructing, ie excursions. We suspect she will still be diving on her days off though. She starts her new job today, so we wish her all the very best and thank her for her hard work over the last year and a bit. So it seems Andy got his Instructor ticket at just the right time, as did Rhona with her Divemaster qualification. We will be seeing even more of both of them, plus skipper Paul.

Instructor Development Centre (IDC)
We are delighted to announce that PADI has recently approved our application to become a training centre for Instructors. Since there is only one other PADI 5 Star IDC Centre on the island, we feel honoured to have secured this status. Our first course starts here on 22nd November - as you may already have seen on our home page. We have been really fortunate to secure Steve Axtell as our Course Director - a highly respected and sought after trainer with many years of experience. Anyone training with Steve will be off on the best possible start to their instructing career.
