Weekly blog: New year!

The new year has started with a bang! It's three weeks into January and we've already run an enriched air course, an open water course, a drysuit course and all of our trainee dive masters have passed their final exams- just a few more bits to do before they qualify!

We've been back at The Basildon Academy mentoring as usual but we've just started up the after school club for our new students doing their open water course! As well as this, we've started a new course with their sports BTec students. This is the fourth consecutive year that we've worked with the academy and it's a delight. We've also held an evening at South Essex college where we recruited 15 new students! We've been working with the colleges for three years and all of the students have been outgoing and great to work with.

There was a Staff Instructor update last weekend that Rhonda attended. It was informative and gave an update on new techniques, materials and tips for teaching.

In the next few weeks we've got a few courses coming up:
January 30th-31st- EFR and Rescue
February 6th-7th- Rescue Open Water.
We've also got /night and wreck courses scheduled and we're confirmed dates next week!

Our first trip this year? NEMO 33!!!
