We have had a nice pleasant few weeks, teaching in the pool, open water sessions and even had time for a play.
People are getting ready for our Red Sea trip this week. We have 24 people going on MY Blue Fin for a weeks tour of the Northern Reefs and Wrecks. Everyone seems to be looking forward to it except those instructors that are being left behind to hold the fort.
Here's to a great weeks diving, more to follow next week.

IDC and IE
We have had a full on week last week, we ran the OWSI part of the IDC from Tuesday to Friday then headed over to Pontefract for the Exams.
Everyone worked very hard during the IDC, including the staff!!!!
Thanks to everyone who helped in the pool on Thursday night, it really helped our candidates get a feel for what t would be like at the weekend. Cheers all.
Over at Pontefract we did our open water section of the IE at Blue Lagoon, its a really nice lake and diving centre with reasonable visibility and nice things to look at. It only took an hour and a half to get there from the shop so well worth a trip from Clitheroe. Fees are £5 membership (one off payment), £5 to park (if more than one person in one car just pay once), and £5 to dive. Its not a deep lake but nice and quiet, it opens at 10am on Saturdays and Sundays.
So how did the Staff get through the IE......... just would be the answer, it hard waiting to hear how people are doing, waiting and waiting. How did the candidates get through the IE..... they did great! Congrats to them all.
Mick R passed his Staff instructor course and was initiated into the ranks, if you want to find out more about that initiation you need to ask him. Well done Mick.
Back to normality now, if there ever was any.

Find out the latest
Seems like ages since I last put anything onto the blog but actually it's not that long really.
We finished our latest open water course this weekend and successfully made 6 new divers open water divers. Well done to them all, they did really well at Capenwray on Saturday and Sunday and I hope they have fun diving!
We also started our Owsi section of the Instructor Developement Course this week and our 4 AI's are getting down to dowing the work required to pass this section of their development. Here's hoping it continues.
