Catch up!

We've been doing a lot over the last couple of weeks....
On Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th we were in Open Water with the help of Ian S, Nick, Rhonda, Joe and Graham. Our students, Luke, David, Heidi and Rob who are reservists and Callie & Eric who are with the US air force all did very well despite it still being very cold.

On Monday we had a LOT of clearing up to do, including washing wet suits and filling cylinders. It's very important to us to maintain and clean all of our kit so that we know it's all working well. On Tuesday, the pool night was very busy with South Essex College starting their Open Water Courses with several different instructors. They're all very quick learners and will be through their course in no time at all!

Wednesday morning, Gary went to an open day at Writtle College where a lot of students showed interest in the Womens Dive Day as well as doing their Open Water Courses. Later on that day, Ian Herbert took a group of people to Nemes with the help of Rhonda and Andy H. 4 students qualified as Night Divers even despite the chaos and terrible visibility! Massive well done to Vince, Connor, John and Rachel!!

Thursday night entailed 15 scouts! Janie had organised this night especially for the scouts as they had been before and were itching to get back in! Everybody had a great time and enjoyed it. A bit thank you to all of the staff who ran around and helped pack up the trailer that night. It made it a lot easier to unpack on Friday morning!

Saturday morning, Ian H was at Stoney Cove doing Wreck, Deep and Search and Recovery. Then on Sunday he was down at Nemes doing Navigation and Drysuit. His student did very well and is looking forward to going diving again.

Lastly, on Monday, Rhonda and Janie went to Nemes for their Easter Egg Hunt and won a fluffy bunny and an Easter egg. It was shocking weather but still a good day! Gary was in the shop clearing out all the mess and doing a stock rotation. It's now nice and fresh!
