October has been a fantastic month for us and best of all was our news that we upgraded to be a 5 Star Instructor Development Centre. We were really pleased that we managed to obtain this award and are looking forward to our first IDC in November.
Halloween Team night out
As a reward for all of our hard work during the summer we all went out for a fantastic Halloween night out this was great because we met the new interns. After lots of food at Big Al’s we all headed off to the premier bar for Karaokee dancing and a few drinks! In our midst was Army Girl (Alice) Zoro (Pete) Harry Potter (Dennis) Jack Sparrow (Andreas) Popeye (Sam) Super Girl (Lydia) Devil Woman (Melissa) and a Scary Halloween Witch (Angela) Scary Clown (Moomin).

Equipment Review
Aqualung Favola mask and Snorkel Set 55 Euros
Available in White/Lilac, White, Transparent/Orange
This Mask and Snorkel set is great value for money as the Mask on its own costs 50 Euros. This mask is a very popular choice for all divers, The Favola guarantees an incredible field of vision
The lenses are at an incline providing a wide angle of view upwards and downwards
The "double joint" buckles rotate both up-and-down and in-and-out. They provide maximum adaptability and comfort to any head shape. New strap with larger headpiece provides greater stability and comfort. The snorkel has a small and comfortable mouthpiece with purge.
Dive Site Review
Poco Naufragio
The Joys of the Rays.
We are really lucky to have access to this wonderful site where on a daily basis you are likely to see Rays. Over the last few months the Rays have slowly begun to return. However if you are not lucky enough o see a Ray whilst you are on this dive you will not be disappointed there are Moray Eels, Ocotpus, Cuttlefish, Cleaner Shrimp Anemones and much more to see.
This site has two levels, the first levels the shelf sits between 14 and 18 meters and so is a suitable dive for Open Water dives, for the more advanced diver you can move off the shelf to see the small wreck of a rowing boat which attracts an abundance of life.
This site is wonderful and never ceases to amaze me at how wonderful the dives are.
