First things first, congratulations to Aaron Elfleet and Nick Sheldrake for completing their open water course Saturday the 24th March at Gildenburg Water, Whittlesey on what was a chilly day and the water a cool 7 degrees.
The dry suit orientations took place and the other participents are now ready for their open water dives.
The Malta trip is on with 8 people taking part, running from Sat. 5th to Wed. 9th May, I will post the photos and trip details on line on our return.
We have a pool session on the 14th April that is I am afraid, full.
I have had a few people ask me about an advanced open water course. What we will do is run a couple of courses here in the summer July-August time when things warm up a bit, again let me know by e-mail if you are interested.
The Enriched Air course and Emergencey First Response courses will run at a later date as I only had one student for each. Again, let me know by e-mail if you would like to tag on to them.
Long term we are thinking about another Malta trip or Grand Caneria and round about November time, a Red Sea trip, but i need numbers in order to get the best prices if there are enough we could take a live aboard.
I now have merchandise!!!!! T-shirts at £10, polo shirts at £21 and cups at £6.50. I will post a section on the site as soon as i get some photos together.
The shark dive I mentioned in the last newsletter, didn't have much response so I will leave it a couple of months and see if there is any further interest in it.
Finally if you are reading this and fancy any of the courses on offer drop me an e-mail at rex@vistaelmar.com, you dont have to be a student of the school as everyone is welcome.
Stay safe
Rex
