Ben completed his Open water course with a dive on the Maori yesterday,
while Dave and Jack attempted to revive a strange plastic looking person that was found lying unconscious near the basins! Anyone recognise this person? . . . 
Dave has been diving with us since 1991 and so has gained quite a bit of experience over the years of holiday diving he has done. Before getting stuck into his rescue course Dave did a Digital Underwater Photography Speciality course at the Maori and Ghar Lapsi. I’ve already done a blog on the course itself but I thought I should share some of the photos from his course with you . . .

During the dive at Ghar Lapsi they came across a lost fishing net that had become entangled inthe marine flora. Ghost fishing (Lost fishing gear that continues to fish for years entangling marine life and killing it) continuse to be a huge problem in all of the worlds oceans.
Many divers group together to clear as much of the gear as they can from sensetive marine ecosystems. Our instructors make a habit of clearning rubbish off the dive sites if they come across it during their dives. You can also do this wherever you happen to be diving at the moment. We also do an annual clean up of the house reef which you can get involved in.
Luckily there didn't seem to be anything entangled in this one except seaweed . . .
