Equipment again!

Back by popular demand on Sunday we ran another equipment specialty course which meant that the centred was swamped with a full array of stuff.



I must say that I really enjoy teaching this course and on Sunday this was helped by the great company that made teaching a pleasure. As ever I found that something new could be learnt from running this course. I was suprised to learn that one of guests for the day had been told by another centre that they needed to buy the Encyclopedia of scuba diving before investing in the course. Now I have to say that this is a highly recommended purchase and is certainly a necessity for anyone undertaking a Dive Master course but it's a tad excessive to do the equipment course.



Now it is fair to say that if anyone does want to get a copy of the Encyclopedia then they only have to ask and we will readily provide.



Completing the course on Sunday was also the fifth specialty for Sacha who is now added to the list of Master Scuba Divers qualified this year. This is a great achievement and a fitting title as Sacha has always shone as a student of diving despite the fact that she has a more than natural aversion to cold conditions.



What also got me excited on Sunday was confirmation of the running of a digital underwater photography course. This is such a good course so I can't wait to confirm the dates for this in the near future with a view to running things with the customary Orca focus on providing added value.



The other news to report this week is that we now have another pool and it is deep. We ran our first session in the pool on Tuesday and the team said it was great. Keep an eye on the web site as some photo's and details will be appearing very soon.



This weekend will be a quite one for me on the diving front as I am off to a friends wedding though it is probably not a bad thing as we have an exceedingly busy time coming up with a big crowd converging on Guildenburgh for the training weekend on the 19th and 20th followed by the trip to Plymouth the next weekend
