Those of you who have done a Rescue Diver course with us in the last few years will be familiar with "Chucky". For those of you who haven't taken that step (yet) Chucky, originally from Kazakhstan, washed up on the beach at Half Moon Bay during Hurricane Wilma in 2005. Lost and alone, he was rescued by the Coconut Tree Divers crew. Far away from home (and broke), PJ took pity on him and gave him a job as an assistant on the Rescue Diver course. He isn't actually very good at it i.e. gets lost repeatedly, only to be found again somewhere on the reef by a succession of different rescue students. Given all this, some people are surprised that PJ actually still lets him dive with us...
After 4 years, he has settled in quite well (he even started getting some of his own equipment - mask and weight belt). These days, after work, he can be found enjoying his favourite drink at The Bar at Coconut Tree Restaurant with the rest of the crew.
