Congratulations Students

I haven't blogged in a couple of days... mostly because I had a day off yesterday. It was wonderful AND no one saw anything too totally awsome while I was at home. Plus I got a well needed haircut!
I just wanted to say congratulations to some of our newly certified students. Alan and Niklas (pictured above) successfully completed the PADI Open Water Course under Craig's expert guidance. As they cruised around Creole Rock they were lucky enough to see stingrays, turtles, cleaner shrimp and an octopus and handle the parrot fish's gooey sleeping bags...not bad for a first dive....oh and they managed to complete the neccesary skills without any hitches. So congrats to yet another two Octopus Diving trained PADI Open Water Divers.

The visibility around the bay is unbelievable at the moment, at least 50 feet at our local sites. This is resulting in the divers seeing the full range of marine life that inhabit this part of St Martin. Currently we are getting beautiful Blue Spotted Rays crusing along with the divers every time we go to Creole Rock, and of course at Turtle Reef the hawksbill's turtles are out in force. It seems like they are just as interested in us as we are in them.

With Max having joined the staff the shop is in full swing ready for the busy season. I will be updating the website soon, once I get some good photos of Craig and Max, so keep watching that space.

That's all for now, I will write more later.

(this blog was written by Sally, except for the part about "Craig's expert guidance"... he wrote that! It is true though.)
