Hi everyone,

We’d like to give a big shout out to a brand new PADI Open Water Diver who finished her class this weekend. April came down to our Key Largo shop with her boyfriend Jared. April she did a fantastic job on her checkout dives even in the face of less than perfect conditions. On her first two checkout dives, the weather conditions were not so cooperative. It wasn’t bad, but 2-3 foot waves, some current and below average visibility make it a little more challenging than we’d like for a brand new diver. Anyway, she did great and then for dives 3+4 we got back to normal on the weather. Visibility went way up, someone turned off the current machine, and the waves were just a gentle roll. So congratulations to April on her certifcation.

We’d also like to say hello and thank some of the other folks who were along on these trips. Another newly certified diver (got certified back home, but was making her first dives with us) Jennifer and with her was boyfriend Don. Also accompanying Don and Jennifer were thier two friends Mary and Raymo who were doing the PADI Discover Scuba class! A lot of new divers, and everyone did a great job and had a great time (or at least that’s what they tell us!). Looks like Jennifer and Don want to do the PADI Advanced Open Water class sometime next week (they live up the road in the Ft. Meyers area) while Mary and Raymo are going to join in the Open Water Class and become certified Divers. I think it’s safe to say they really liked the Discover Scuba Class. We look forward to seeing them again.
