What’s been happening here

Pizza, Coke and ice cream…power lunch for a diving instructor!

Michael Reynolds and Keiren Reynolds had a great time doing their Open Water Course with Jamie this weekend. It was a bit of a squeeze to fit it all into just 3 days but with a few late nights in the classroom both Michael and Keiren successfully completed their course with the final dive at Sabang Bay where they saw a huge Turtle in the sea grass. Congratulations guys it was a good job well done.

Very nice to have a new group of friends from Manila stay and dive with us. Ghyslaine and Alain Zimmermann, Vololona Webert, Pascale and Lionel Boujot. Hope to see you back again soon!

Look who is back!

Welcome back to “Howling Ebb”!  It’s been 15 years since we’ve seen Rory and Ebb Hinchliffe here and we sure hope it won’t be another 15 years to see them both again. 

Glad to see Mats Blomberg and his family visiting us after many years. It was great to see you all again and especially nice to see their daughter Victoria earn her OW certification with Matt.

Great to see the Wells family here with us again! Welcome back to Bruce and Annabelle and congratulations to our new Open Water diver, Megan.

Standbrook family diving

It’s been wonderful having the Standbrook family back with us again. Last time they were here they did their Open Water training, and now on this trip Tim, Joseph and Nellie completed their Advanced course and got in some very dives with Alli. I think highlights of this trip included the big huge turtle and of course some very interesting creatures on the night dive. Congratulations to you all for doing such a great job and really fine tuning your diving to become very comfortable and aware divers!
