19th October 2019

On our dive today, 19th October 2019, we had a very pleasant trip out to the islands with beautiful calm conditions. Our dive sites for the day were based at and around Shark Gutters.
 
After all of our divers dropped in at Shark Gutters for the first dive. We dived near Cleaner Cave, where we found three juvenile Grey Nurse Sharks circling around, also schools of tawhine and silver trevalley.
We took our regular 60 min surface interval and snack break before heading down for our second dive.
 
For our second dive, it was decided we did a drift dive from Shark Gutters to South Boulder. Our certified divers made their way all the way around to the gantry! We spotted three adult Grey Nurses here, around North Boulder Wall. We also saw some black cod, eagle rays, and some turtles.
Overall today there was plenty to see, and everybody had a great Saturday dive. Congratulations to our newest PADI Open Water Certified diver Deniz, and PADI Scuba Diver Tristan!
Back at the Dive Shop, we had four divers signed up for our PADI Rescue Course! They completed their theory this morning, and after passing exams they made their way to the Olympic Pool for their pool skills for the rescue course.  Our picture on today’s post is from the pool session! Tomorrow our Rescue divers will be making their way to the ocean to complete their course and get certified.
