At the dive shop, every week is a different set of faces. Divers come and go from all over the world - USA, Canada, Brazil, Costa Rica and the Netherlands, just to name a few places from this past week alone! But what about the very people that actually come from this island? Well, we're also here to get them into diving. This past week we had Ander Miller (Cindy's son - if you've been here before, you have without a doubt experienced Cindy's cooking at the blue shack) and Dillow Brooks complete their Open Water courses. They absolutely loved it, big smiles all around.

Getting interested in diving and eventually rising through the ranks to the level of Divemaster or Instructor can be a great way to increase their skill set and their employability on the island - many of the larger dive resorts have a large number of staff. One of our success stories along this line was Gerald Mann, from West End. He did his Open Water through to Divemaster at Coconut Tree, and now works full-time as a Divemaster at Anthony's Key Resort.

Recent Sightings:

Black spotted Nudibranch @ Bikini Bottom
Nurse Shark @ Three Brothers (a newer mooring, between Turtle Crossing and SeaQuest)
Half Moon Bay Weather Report:
Calm seas, pretty hot in the sun, but with a nice cool breeze. (very precise and scientific, I know)
