Well done to Eric, who originally signed up for a Discover Scuba program, but then enjoyed it so much that he decided to go through the full PADI OW certification course. It is really incredible to see the progress in just 3 days, from never have breathed underwater on...

 Congrats to Max (15), and Kristina for overcoming some skill hurdles and smashing the PADI OW course with me. We had tons of fun, great lake conditions, and after over coming some very important hair management issues (hoods don't only keep you warm) plenty of dive ti...

A big congrats to Richard and Matt for completing the PADI OW course with us here at our private lakeside locale. We were blessed with incredible weather, and great visibility. The guys were a little tired after crushing all the shallow water skills the first day, but...

 Finally, at long last we are back on Georgian Bay, and ready to teach again! This year will be a very short season, but we are all set up and ready to make the most of it! Yesterday I took a dip and it is a balmy 23oC at the bottom, very comfortable conditions indeed....

 With a couple of adventurous buddy's, we decided to go out and pin point the location of the WE shipwreck. Armed with a set of GPS co-ordinates we anchored on the sand at the top off the reef and dropped in, uncertain if we would find it. As luck would have it we were...

 What a great week it has been here in the beautiful Turks and Caicos. Finally we got permission to be able to go out and treat the corals that are infected with SCTLD. Using a paste base and amoxicillin mixture, our mission was to identify and treat coral colonies tha...

Since we have been given the all clear to come out of lock down, and since there are NO tourist around, I have been volunteering with the TCI Reef Fund. The big priority now, is to try and combat the very aggressive Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD). First descri...

 Lately while "stuck" here in the beautiful Turks and Caicos, I have been teaching Candi how to scuba dive. Her lifelong dream has been to get up close to sharks and I am very happy to say, it has been realised! As a treat, after certification I took her to a special s...
