Fourth Quarter Certifications and congratulations
Congratulations and goodbye!
Congratulations to Russ Vann who has become our first Self Reliant Diver Instructor and to Jon Lyall who has successfully completed his Staff Instructor course well done to both!
We're also delighted to announce that Rob Bartlett has successfully completed his course to become an Assistant Instructor.
Congratulations also goes to Katie Bainbridge who has joined our roll of honour as a Master Scuba Diver the highest nonprofessional level in PADI.
Sadly we have to say goodbye to Pete Walmsley who is moving to Devon in February. We'd like to thank him for all his help with the school but look forward to meeting up with him for the Isles of Scilly trip in June and future dive trips to the coast.
