Well done this week to Katrin, spencer, Mairead, Juliano and Todd on Completing their PADI Enriched Air diver specialty!! 2 divers were completed on the Boat in Sydney Harbour where the divers showed that they couls plan their dives using Nitrox and also annalyse their Nitrox tanks. The group experienced the advantages of using Nitrox that included: less nitrogen build up during the dives so they felt not as tired after diving, longer bottoms times and also shorter surface intervals Keep up the good diving guys!! Cheers Team DCB

On the weekend of the 30th April we ran our monthly Rescue Diver Course. Spencer, Katrin, Niklas, Todd, Declan and Juliano Learnt Important life saving skills and drills over the two days to earn their PADI Rescue Diver certification!! Day one set the basis of the rescue diver techniques including surfacing an unresponsive diver from depth, Panicked diver on the surface, missing diver and many more. This prepared the guys for day two! Durning the 2nd day many different scenarios were played out suprising the guys with each one! Overall the guys worked well as a team and showed that they could rescue a diver in many different types of situations!! Great work Guys!! preston and Team DCB
