Congratulations to Lisa, Charlotte and Nick for completing their PADI Search and Recovery Specialty today , under the watchful direction of Nick Sykes.  Everyone worked marvels in less than great viz, finally locating the elusive Search and Recovery tank and raising it from the depths without too much trouble.

Aaron also got on really well with the first three dives of his Advanced Open Water, successfully completing Navigation, Peak Performance Buoyancy and Search and recovery dives.

The water was a near tropical 15 Degrees, and a great time was had by all.

At the beginning of their journey to PADI Open Water Divers, Sandra and Rob completed the first section of the knowledge development with Chris.

While OW Module 1 was underway, Andy, Jeanette and Adrian were checking out the new Cressi range of dive gear here at the Dive Centre while waiting to complete module 2 & 3 of the PADI Open Water course.

Vanessa completed the first presentation of her PADI Assistant Instructor course this evening, this should be finished by the end of the week, so good luck from all the Diving Leisure Leeds Team...

The pool was packed out tonight, with Emma and Sarah polishing their open water skills, whilst Phil, Cath and Mark furthered their Divemaster skills with assistance from Vanessa. 

Emma and Chris also had a great time on their Drysuit Orientation in preperation for their PADI Drysuit Specialty course, and huge amounts were squeezed into the time in the pool tonight.

Gilly, Lisa, Louise and Guy all donned their 5mm semi-dry's and gloves to practice their open water skills before going to open water in the not too distant future....

Simon, Nicole, Mark and Luke concentrated on perfecting their hovers tonight in the 5metre pit at Leeds International Pool. By the end of the evening, all were floating like Buddhas with spot on buoyancy control. Great work guys!

Congratulations to Chris and Andrew who completed their PADI Enriched Air (Nitrox) Specialty course today at the dive centre.  It was a long day for the guys, starting at 10am and finishing around 6pm.  They worked hard studying the books, watching the DVD and working through all the presentation with Alex in the classroom.  From all the team at Diving Leisure Leeds we hope you have a great time in Egypt.

Well done to Charlotte who completed her final three open water training dives today at 8 Acre Lake.  In 3 wetsuits, yes 3 suits (3mm full and two 3mm shorties) she worked very hard in eight degrees centigrade water at Eight Acre Lake.  With superb visibility, upto 8 meters, Chris and Mike helped guide her through the dives.  Charlotte is Diving Leisure Leeds smallest Junior Open Water diver with big enthusiasm.  

Richard also came along from The Wilson Tribe for a dive with Luke, who was completing the Discover Local Diving portion of his Divemaster Conducted programs of his PADI Divemaster course.  They had lots of fun, even if they did get a little lost on the second dive, even with the good visibility!!
