PADI TecRec Gas Blender Course 28th March 2020

Posted on January 17, 2020

Gas Blender March 2020

We will be running the PADI TecRec Gas Blender course on Saturday 28th March 2020.

More people are diving with enriched air. The Enriched Air Diver course is the most popular PADI Specialty course, this means the demand for enriched air fills is increasing.

However, there needs to be someone qualified to administer these fills to meet this demand. This is where the PADI Gas Blender course comes in. The PADI TecRec Gas Blender course will give the ability to deliver these fills to your customers.

It can result in one of two certifications: PADI Gas Blender or PADI Trimix Blender.

My Scuba Journey from Open Water to Master Scuba Diver – Teresa Jones

Posted on January 3, 2020

My Scuba Journey from Open Water to Master Scuba Diver

MY SCUBA JOURNEY

I started my scuba journey by qualifying in September 2018, having passed my Open Water course with Ocean View.

The seed for diving was originally sown in October 1995 when I moved to Worthing with my family from Birmingham. I saw the shop in Lancing & stated that Scuba diving was something I always wanted to do. Life with a small family & work got in the way.

My Scuba Journey Open water and drysuitEarly in 2018 my daughter, living in the Midlands, informed me that she was taking up Scuba diving. I informed her this was something I always wanted to do. She took this on board & my children paid for a ‘Discover Scuba Diving’ course for Mothers day, with Ocean View. I was surprised that I had to pluck up courage to do this & didn’t book it until the June. As soon as I got in the water, I knew that this was a sport that I wanted to take further.

 

I really got the bug

I decided to obtain my Dry Suit along with the Open Water certification After doing some research, plus it was winter, I then passed the Enriched Air course, in November.

It was at this stage I really got the bug…..to such an extent that I purchased most of my diving equipment.

Yes, like many others that have been on the same journey, I have been seen parading around the garden in full kit & yes, I mastered snorkelling skills in the bath.

My Scuba Journey PPB and NavMy enthusiasm for scuba diving was not waning, I wanted to go further with it & decided I would like to do more courses. I wanted to go deeper & was informed I could do the Advanced course or go along the speciality route, in case I wanted to achieve Master Scuba Diver, this would mean I could still get the Advanced certification. This I decided to do, I was then set on achieving Master Scuba Diver if I could.

April 2019, I achieved certification in Peak Performance Buoyancy & Underwater Navigation (I think I find navigation one of the hardest things to do)

June 2019, I achieved DSMB.

My Scuba Journey Deep and WreckJuly 2019, I certified in Deep & Wreck (didn’t think I was interested in wrecks until I did this course, now I find it fascinating). 

 

I thought I would have a break from courses & do my Rescue in 2020. BUT, I saw there was a course in October/November….so I decided to go for it!!!

 

Master Scuba Diver

I therefore achieved my goal, which I am very proud of, MASTER SCUBA DIVER.

I achieved so much in 14 months.

My Scuba Journey Rescue November 2019So far I have dived at Newquay (Cornwall) The Great Barrier Reef, Byron Bay (Australia) Brighton, Maldives & Farne Islands. Inland water: Dosthill (Tamworth), NDAC, Stoney Cove, St Andrews (Kent) & obviously, Wraysbury.

So, 2020 is now with us, where will my adventure go now? I have nothing currently booked but on my ‘bucket’ list is the Red Sea, Silfra & Raja Ampat.

I intend to continue diving dry, but my eyes have been opened to warm water diving.

What’s next?

My daughter is now working towards her Instructor course. I don’t think this is for me, but you never know where else diving will take me.

I would like to thank my Husband (non-diver) for transporting me around & putting up with my only conversation of diving.

St Andrews BimbleA big thanks to my instructors, Angela Phillips, Andy Langler & Ioannis Vasileiou. All the Dive Masters who help out, whom I didn’t initially know what or how much they do to assist all the students & instructors. Also all the other Ocean View staff who are helpful & willing to pass on useful information. They all do a fantastic job.

PADI Basic Freediver Sunday 26th January 2020

Posted on December 21, 2019

Basic Freediver January 2020

We are running our next PADI Basic Freediver Course on Sunday 26th January 2020.

Freediving is about inward power, discipline and control. If you’ve always wanted to enter the underwater world quietly, on your own terms, and staying as long as your breath allows, then freediving is for you. Therefore taking the Basic Freediver course is your first step toward discovering why freediving is becoming a popular way to explore beneath the waves.

To enroll in a PADI Basic Freediver course you must be 12 years old or older. You need adequate swimming skills and need to be in good physical health. No prior experience with snorkeling, skin diving or freediving is required.

Find out more about this course…
