Wow an amazing week! π
Monday 18th, Jon Kirk booked us for 3 guided dives at Porthkerris Divers where we were tripping over marine life! Lots of octopus, crawfish, jellyfish, big Ballan wrasse, spidercrabs, hermit crabs and so much more! π€Ώπ¦πͺΌππ¦ππ¦
Tuesday 19th, was day one of our SDI Lobster Release Diver course where we visited the National Lobster Hatchery for a special behind the scenes tour and learned all about the work that goes into lobster conservation. π¦π¦
Wednesday 20th, Jon Kirk successfully passed his Lobster Release Diver course! Two dives with the first learning the different releases methods and the pro/cons of each.
Second dive, Jon demonstrated great dive planning using one of the methods and successfully released 250 baby lobsters at Pendennis Point, Falmouth! A special big thank you to Jools Mason (one of our students from last year's Lobster Release Diver course) for being Jon's buddy for the day! π¦π¦π¦π€Ώπ€
(Whilst on the subject of lobsters, we know that David Skinner's Viewpoint Dive Club based in St Austell is doing their own Lobster Release today. We at Scuba Ry Divers would to wish all their divers a very happy & successful release and many thanks for spreading the lobster love in your area! πππ€Ώπ¦).
Friday 22nd, Jon then successfully completed his SDI Search & Recovery course at Porthoustock beach. This is a tough course and Jon mastered it brilliantly! π₯³π₯³π
And then finally Saturday 23rd, Jon Kirk, Jonathan Gibson, Anna and Loki Cullen went out for two guided dives to visit the old WW1 German U-boats at Silversteps in Falmouth. The visibility was a stunning 10 metres, 14 degrees water temperature and lots of lovely marine life to see such as Catsharks, Conger eels, big edible crabs, sandeels, beautiful wrasses ... I could go on! π€Ώπ¦π¦ππ¦ππͺΌ
A big thank you to my dive team Clive Lewis , James Humphrey, Phil Smith for their support and making this week truly memorable and rewarding! We all had lots of great laughs, learning together and fantastic dives!
