Diving Tenerife February 2014 Update

Divemaster Internship Update.

So this month has seen Ingrid pass her Divemaster Internship with flying colours. Ingrid has been a pleasure to teach and is a very very good student. She is quick to learn and eager to do more....SOO Ingrid will now take on the Discover Scuba Diver leader :)

She is also considering taking the PADI Instructor course and will be working with Amarilla Divers to gain more dives and experience whilst also looking for a job :)



Aurelien has been completing his practical assessments, stamina and workshops and is almost ready for his final DM exam, part 2.

Aurelien is great to teach and has come along very well with his training. He is now looking at going back to France to work on the Yachts and sail away into the sunset!!



Dive Sites.

We have had some great dive sites lately and Tabaiba has been a favourite with the divers. We had some Advanced Open Water course diver there and got some excellent photos.

We have also been to Black Cove which is a  beautiful site, especially if  the weather is good to enter the Moon Pools.

The sting Rays have still been around and have not gone for their 'mating season' yet, so we have been graced with all the Large Atlantic rays as well as the small common rays and even the Eagle ray has been around.

Diving Tenerife Update for January 2014

Hi guys and welcome back. Yes I have been rather late with updates, but I promise to try and keep more prompt with our news.

So what has been happening :)

Well during January we had 2 new Divemaster Interns start with Amarilla Divers and also an old return to finish off her training.

Emelyne from France came back to complete the rest of her Divemaster and she scored very highly in her exams and her skill circuit :)

Emelyne was with us for a total of 8 weeks but split it over a couple of months so she could go off and work on the survey boats. 

Emelyne managed to complete 

Advanced Open Water

Rescue Diver

Emergency First Response

Divemaster

She also got lots of diving in and gained more experience and confidence with her diving. 

She now goes back to France and is looking for jobs round the world as we speak :)

Secondly we have the lovely Ingrid from Netherlands. She joined us to finish her Divemaster course and gain her dives to reach the minimum of 60 required for divemaster. 

Ingrid is a very quick learner and after a few pool sessions to practice and polish her dive skills, she score very high on her skill circuit. 

Ingrid also did a great job with her exams, in English, after studying hard with her book :)

Aurelien is our 3rd Divemaster intern and he is also from France. Aurelien was training in Cannes and then decided to complete his Divemaster course. 

He has been reading through his book and managed a great score for the first part of the exam, in French :) and now is studying the fantastic chapter 9 ready for the second exam.

Aurelien has also had some high scores with his Skill circuit and is looking good with his rescue assessment as well.

Amarilla Divers ~ February Update Diving Tenerife

February 2013

So what did we do in February, well we had some of our regular customers back to join us and they were having fun doing some new PADI courses.

We had Sam, he completed his Junior Open Water course after having a Discover Scuba Diver course with Mary last year. Sam then came back twice more fore some pleasure dives before Mum & Dad bought him his OW course for Christmas.

Sam was an excellent student and he had such a great time with Chris our Instructor. Chris said Sam was the best student he has taught so far....WOW well done Sam

We also had Natalie & Mark back to complete their Advanced open Water course with Neil. They had a lovely time and even  had a 'shopping list' of things Natalie wanted to see.

Her list was

Sting rays
Turtles
Sea Horses

Well in the first day they had already ticked off Sea Horses & Sting Rays, we could do much better than that.

We did take them to see  the Turtles to so we had 2 very happy divers and they went to some new dives too.

 
We had some new divers join Amarilla Divers for their first time and Janne from Finland completed his Open Water Course & EFR With Chris, whilst Jaromir completed his Scuba Diver course.

Eva was excellent at Snorkelling and we had many trips to Abades to take snorkelling groups.

Cathy came out for her Open Water Referral with Chris and was a great student.

We had many different courses running during February and it was great to have returning customers and some new ones too.


 As you may know we do have quite a following for our Bubblemaker program as well. This is always a great experience for our younger divers and so we had a new Bubblemaker join our team. Bethany came and had a go with Charlie our youngest Amarilla Divers team member.

Bethany had a great time playing the pool games with Charlie & Laura, our Divemaster Intern. Mary was there to keep an eye out and see who was the winner.

Lots of dive sites visited during February and lots of new life seen. High lights were definitely the Sea Horse, which is back at Poris and also the Abades Outer reef which has lots of new life and some breading bream!!!

Lets see what March has in store ;)

Also remember we have our IDC starting on 26th May 2013.
