On Saturday the 29th May, 7 advanced open water divers entered the water and on Sunday the 30th may 7 rescue divers emerged full of confidence and knowledge after a great weekend of training!! The students were pushed to their limits in all different types of situations, from missing unconscious divers and panicked buddies to gushing leg and head wounds (thanks to the great use of bbq sauce) and after two days obtained their rescue diver certifications… WELL DONE to Karren, Mark B, Mark W, Max, Michael, Jim and Matt, Preston and myself had a great time teaching you all and watching you make the transition from advanced divers to rescue divers, looking forward to seeing you all out and diving again soon…

 

best of luck with your continuing education…

Ebbony, Preston and all the crew and Dive centre Bondi

Congratulations to Thomas who did a great job of completing a PADI Scuba Review last weekend. A man who is clearly made for the water, Thomas breezed through a bit of a touch on the 20 basic skills and then cruised around further exploring Manly’s Shelley Beach. We had good conditions and saw quiet a lot of aquatic life. Thomas is off to the Whitsunday’s soon with his girlfriend who also completed her PADI Openwater course on the same weekend. Congratulations to you both! We hope you have a fabulous trip and we look forward to seeing you in the water again soon.

All the best from Simon & Team DCB

A huge congratulations to Jim, Barbora, Mark, Ludo, Anne, Ben and Michael - last weekend saw them become  PADI Advanced Openwater Divers! Throughout the weekend we worked on, amongst other things, team contact/positioning, situational awareness and buoyancy. Significant improvements were made and the whole team righty earned their qualification. We dived in Gordon’s Bay, Camp Cove as well North Head off the boat, and had the opportunity to see a bunch of wildlife including, Weedy Sea Dragons, Port Jackson Sharks and beautiful transparent squid on the night dive. Indeed many said the night dive was the best dive they had ever done!

 

Well done to all and congratulations again. Tim and I both look forward to getting back into the water with you again soon.

Congratulations to Carlos Gallon in achieving his open water certification. We had great conditions this week. We were able to dive Clovelly Pools, for the first time this year, and Gordon’s Bay. Both sites provided great visibility and loads for us to see. It was great to see Carlos’ skills progress over the week and look forward to seeing him back.
