This week has been all about the preparation for the winter months and new year. We've made our final arrangements for the annual Christmas meal which is just two weeks away! We've been getting more stock in for those must-have Christmas gifts and we've got the heater out because Janie had icicles growing from her nose!
Monday started as usual with a lot of kit to wash, check, sort and put away. It's surprising how time consuming it can be. Gary was mentoring in the afternoon after which he started designing our new vouchers and sent them to print. We're now selling vouchers for all occasions which means you can give a unique gift as well as finding new dive buddies.
On Tuesday we met with The Jupiter Centre which is a specialist learning centre. They're doing very well in their Open Water course and show extreme enthusiasm at every lesson. We are increasingly seeing growth in each student and it is fantastic to see them growing in confidence too. Then we had our pool night! It was very busy with three Open Water courses, several DSD's and a lot of people jumping in for a play.
Wednesday was a prime opportunity to talk to Scuba Travel about our upcoming trips in 2016. We've now finalized all of the details for the liveaboard in April. We'll be staying on The Whirlwind, a beautiful boat that has been voted "Liveaboard Of The Year" at Diver awards. We'll be diving Ras Muhamed, Abu Nuhas & Thistlegorm. As well as many other wrecks and reefs. Kit is available to hire from us and everything is booked through Scuba Travel. This trip is fantastic for divers of all levels.
Thursday entailed getting ready for the SWF pool night! It was a very eventful night as the Seal team were up to their usual mischief. Whilst we started a new Open Water course as well as doing Dive Master training. We also had Hollie in for a play, she was very nervous when she first started her course but with Carole's help, she has slowly grown confidence. She is now topping up her skills and refreshing her memory before qualifying. This is something we advise as even the most professional divers forget things after not being in the water for a while.
On Friday, we were preparing kit for the weekend as usual however a few old friends popped in to say hello which is always great. After getting all of the kit ready, we had a good sort through the container, making sure we had enough gloves, hoods and boots to keep us warm through the winter months.
On Saturday and Sunday we had Hollie qualifying as an Open Water diver as well as Lewis and Connor doing their Drysuit course. The water is getting a little bit colder but we're not stopping yet! If you want to join us at Nemes this weekend, you know what to do!
