Eric perfecting his buoyancy during the Koh Tao PADI Advanced Open Water Course.

Well done to Marylee and Eric on completing there PADI Rescue Diver course.
After catching the diving bug after their PADI Open Water Course they decided to continue their training up to PADI rescue diver level, which would better prepare them for future planed diving excursions.
En-route highlights of the advanced course included grey reef sharks on the deep dive, multi-level computer dive showing the benefits of a computer assisted dive and the peak performance buoyancy dive helped fine tune their diving.
The underwater navigation dive built on the introduction of using an underwater compass use during the PADI Open Water Course and we finished the advanced course with a magnificent night dive.
Marylee and Eric’s PADI Rescue Course started with some important self rescue skills. One of the main advantages of the rescue course is that it builds diver confidence, both in being able to assist one’s self and helping others. Along with the usual exercises of rescuing tired, panicked and unresponsive divers both underwater and afloat there was always time to sneak an extra fun dive in at the Chumphon Pinnacles, descending down along the anchor line to 30 metres to search for sharks.
Yesterday after practicing the mentioned skills the couple completed their final scenario, locating and rescuing a missing diver.
