Dive & Sea Tenerife ~ Newsletter December 2010

 

Hi all,
 
Firstly thank you for all the support from all our divers this last year, we hope that you will continue to support us in the coming years.

Just a reminder that we are now at our new location in Terrazas De La Paz, Golf Del Sur.



Here we are, and can you believe its December already!

The year has flown by here at Dive and Sea Tenerife we have had a very busy year, lots of exciting new things have happened  and we have had a fantastic year.

With the move from the Marina San Miguel to our beautiful shop on Golf Del Sur, the completion of several Divemaster internships, and the superb achievements of our own team; Pete completing his Spanish skippers licence as well as gaining his Master Scuba Diver Trainer certification, whilst Melissa has learnt to dive herself and continued through the PADI qualifications until she she is now a PADI Rescue diver.

Its been great this month to not only welcome new divers into our centre but to see some familiar faces back for more recreational dives and courses.

It’s been a year full of activity and we are looking forward to the excitement that 2011 has to offer as well as enjoying the festive season including our annual Santa Dive.

Dive Item of the month: Cressi Killer

The Cressi Killer is a small knife that has been successful for many years and is very much appreciated because it is easy to handle with a wonderful blade for penetrating. This beautiful knife has a total length of 180mm with a single piece of stainless steel blade of 86mm in length, 17mm width and 3-5mm in depth, one edge of the blade is a smooth for cutting and the other partly serrated. The sheath is made from plastic holding the knife in place with an elasticised band looping around the top of the grip.

The Cressi Killer comes with two standard issue straps to attach it to your leg.

The total weight is 300g with the knife weighing just 120g itself making it a lightweight, small, neat and therefore easy for anyone to use.

The Killer’s long running popularity and efficient features make it an ideal knife for anyone to own.


Yellow Mountain Night Dive



The hidden wonders only displayed after sunset, transform a familiar dive site into a completely new one.

Yellow Mountain by day offers a wide variety of species and behavioural characteristics to be seen, the same can definitely be said for a night dive at this beautiful site, only at night there is yet even more to see.

Urchins that dominate the rocks by day have created a carpeted covering on the sand, creating a totally new appearance to the sea floor.

The Damsel fish are no longer in the open waters but tucked into each and every crevice possible, the Pufferfish and Parrotfish are also settling down all around; all intrigued and nervous to the approaching lights of a diving torch.

The swim-through displays almost a full colour spectrum of sponge species in all kinds of shapes and sizes, a beauty that is almost totally eclipsed by the daylight. Octopuses are out in the open as they are typically nocturnal, so during the day they are special to see but at night they are truly spectacular.

Moray Eels peek out from their holes in the rocks, the torchlight catching their eye to shed light on their location.

Whilst looking in front of you at the brilliance your torch illuminates, looking back behind you into the darkness is well worth it as you will see a glow of “glittery” blue plankton trailing from your fins, this magical sight is a perfect visual experience distinctive to a night dive.

Divemaster Intern Placements from January 2011

We are looking for confident enthusiastic individuals to join our small friendly team, starting on Monday 11th January 2011.

Do you want to do something that will make you stand out from the crowd?

Something that will make you feel like you have really achieved something?

And that is also a Professional Qualification?

Then you have come to the right place. Diving is not just something you will do for a few months of the year, it is something that will change your life forever.

Even if you never work as a PADI Divemaster, for the rest of your life you will define yourself as a PADI Dive Professional.

You can start your internship at any stage from Non-Diving, Open Water Diver or even Rescue Diver.

The internship incorporates a full array of PADI courses, dive experiences and additional learning modules.

Aside from being trained up to be a Divemaster, you will receive hands on experience with Dive Centre Operations, kit maintenance, leading dives, safety procedures, customer liaison, boat management and professional procedures (including attitude, insurance, sales ).

You will have the opportunity of working first-hand with real students in different diving courses and PADI diving programs along-side our experienced instructors. Learning to dive is not all hard work, its fun too.

Our professional scuba diving trainees programs have placed divers in diving jobs once they are completed.

So why waste your time, come and learn to be a professional Divemaster and open the world of underwater opportunities.
