Dive and Sea Tenerife ~ Newsletter February 2011.
Hello again everyone,
Hope that you are all
enjoying receiving our monthly update. If there are any Dive Sites or
Diving Equipment you would like to know more about or would like us to
review just let us know. This month has been a very
busy month for us at Dive and Sea Tenerife, hopefully the first of many
busy months for the coming year. It has been great to
welcome new divers into the waters of Tenerife as well as catch up with
old friends. Our Old Divemaster Intern
Ryan was back again and to share his great news of a placement in Egypt
for 8 weeks with a subsidiary of Gapforce, Greenforce. This month we have
decorated the shop for Valentines following all the great comments we
had in December for Scuba Santa, if you have any suggestions for new
themes for the shop window, please email me to let me know.
Equipment Review
~ Cressi Big Eyes Evolution - Prescription lenses
When I first started
diving the beauty of the underwater world was to all intents lost on me. Then I got my new
Cressi Big Eyes Evolution mask and prescription lenses, now the
difference from my first dives to what I can see now is remarkable. I can see every little
thing. No longer do I get out of a dive hearing people say did you
see....... and be disappointed that I had missed it due to poor eye
sight. Best of all I could get
the perfect colour Pink!!! I would say my mask is now the most
important aspect of my diving equipment not only for all traditional
purposes but most importantly for me I can get to see all that the
underwater world of Tenerife has to offer. The Cressi Big eyes
Evolution mask is extremely comfortable and provides great
vision with its large tear drop shaped lenses. The clear silicone skirt
is fantastic allowing lots of light to filter through. I would
recommend this mask with or without prescription lenses for comfort of
fit and selection of colours. Dive
Site Review ~ Abades - Caleta Pesqero Barco
Abades - Caleta Pesquero
Barco is a fantastic shore dive. This dive is suitable for
all levels of diver from Discover Scuba Diver onwards. Its a great shallow dive
with an abundance of different species of fish to see. We walk a short distance
to enter from the shore in a small cove and follow the rock wall
formations around to the right. On my dive at Abades we
were lucky enough to see an orange Trumpet Fish, and everyone knows that
Trumpet fish are my favourite fish so to see an Orange one was amazing.
There were hundreds of
Bream and Damsels as well as some cool areas to explore in search of
Octopus, and Eels.
Team News We would like to welcome
Dave, all the way from New Zealand, who has joined us on the intensive 6
week Divemaster program. Dave joined us as an PADI
Advanced Diver with 28 dives and this week has successfully completed

a full time job!

PADI Divemaster Internship Our traditional program
PADI Divemaster internship is 12 weeks long, which allows 6 weeks
training and 6 weeks work experience, our intensive program will be 6
weeks in total. We are always trying
to reduce the costs to our candidates and by reducing the length of the
program it will significantly reduce the accommodation and living cost's
whilst in Tenerife. The number of days per
week you will need to attend the dive centre depends on your
certification level and number of dive's required (to attain the minimum
of 60 required for certification), this will be a minimum of 4 days and
up to 6 days per week. We will also be offering
the PADI Master Scuba Diver, the highest rated non Professional level
within PADI,to those interested at a reduced cost and will discuss upon
arrival with those concerned, along with a range of PADI Specialties. The summer program will
consist of 2 groups of 6 weeks, however if you wish to stay longer (up
to the full 12 weeks) this will be accommodated at the additional cost. As the longest running
PADI Dive centre in the area we are able to offer so much more whilst
you are here including huge discounts on excursions like the Submarine,
Parascending, Jet Skies, Aqualand, Jungle Parque, Catamaran whale and
dolphin trips as well a many more. The candidate places will
