They had a brilliant start to the Open Water weekend with perfect sunshine all day Saturday.http://www.divecourses.co.uk/release.php?prid=31Well done to all those that successfully completed the PADI Enriched Air Diver course last week. The course is designed to teach people the safe and correct use of Enriched Air Nitrox, including equipment considerations, cylinder filling procedures and dive planning to enable extended dive times.http://www.divecourses.co.uk/release.php?prid=32At the beginning of the year, Sub-Mission Dive School launched a special offer of a FREE PADI Coral Reef Conservation Specialty with every new PADI Open Water Diver Course enrolment with Sub-Mission Dive. We are now pleased to announce that we are now extending the FREE offer to enable all 2009 Sub-Mission student divers the opportunity of enrolling for the FREE PADI specialty. Therefore if you have completed any PADI Diving program, excludes experience programs, during 2009 with Sub-Mission Dive Centre you are eligible for this fantastic offer.http://www.divecourses.co.uk/release.php?prid=33The Dive Club have just returned from the holiday of a lifetime, having visited the Red Sea for some fun, sun and diving. We spent a week on board the luxurious Whirlwind Liveaboard, diving 3 times per day as well as night dives. The itinerary was the popular Wrecks and Reefs, incorporating infamous sites such as the Giannis D, the Chrisoula K, Jackson Reef, Shark & Yolanda and of course 3 dives on the Thistlegorm.http://www.divecourses.co.uk/release.php?prid=34After the most impressive liveaboard to date, we have decided to return to the Red Sea in August 2010 in the hope of following up on this years successful trip. We will be staying aboard the luxurious MV Whirlwind which is one of the finest liveaboards serving the Red Sea. She is a 36 metre purpose built dive vessel, with all the mod cons today's divers expect. All 10 twin rooms are en-suite with self controlled air conditioning & fitted with safety deposit boxes. She is staffed by a fantastic team of hard working crew, who ensure that your stay aboard is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.http://www.divecourses.co.uk/release.php?prid=35The next FREE PADI Coral Reef Conservation course has been scheduled for Monday 28th September 2009 at 6.30. The course will take place at the dive centre and spaces will be limited to 20. Don't worry if you can't make this date as we will be scheduling the next PADI Coral Reef Conservation course for October.http://www.divecourses.co.uk/release.php?prid=36As of the 24th August, Katy has become a full time employee in the Dive Shop. The Dive Centre has been growing in strength since our move to Providence Square over a year ago. With more and more customers coming through the door, it has become a demanding task for Darren to cope alone at the end of the weekhttp://www.divecourses.co.uk/release.php?prid=37Mike completed his PADI Open Water Course with Sub-Mission when he was just 13 and has been involved with the dive club ever since. Although out of the water, Mike often appeared dazed, confused or sometimes just in a day dream, in water he has always been the perfect buddy. Mike went onto complete the PADI Rescue Diver certification as a junior and we're hoping he will eventually progress through to PADI Divemaster at some point in his diving career.http://www.divecourses.co.uk/release.php?prid=38Most students who complete their PADI Open Water Course are often left with a thirst for more diving, more excitement, and more adventure. For those adrenaline junkies, the PADI Advanced Open Water Course will hit the spot.http://www.divecourses.co.uk/release.php?prid=39Sub-Mission Dive Club were scheduled to visit Cornwalls beautiful coast over the weekend, but due to the forecast strong winds we were forced to find alternative diving. We booked a boat, MV Topline and accommodation last minute and headed to St. Abbs hoping for the best. Just south of Edinburgh, on the East coast, St. Abbs is a tiny fishing village, famous for its clear water, abundant marine life and is a protected National Trust Nature Reserve.http://www.divecourses.co.uk/release.php?prid=40All of the staff at Sub-Mission Dive Centre would like to take this opportunity to congratulate those students who worked hard and completed the PADI Advanced Open Water, PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty and the PADI Drysuit Specialty courses last weekend. It was a beautiful, sunny weekend at Capernwray, which had a positive impact, with all the students excited about their dives. Debbie, Peter, Rachel, Adam, Yvonne, Colin and Matt completed the required PADI Underwater Navigation and PADI Deep Adventure dives, perfecting both natural & compass navigational techniques. Syd was thrown off track after discovering that both of Capernwrays long serving horses had been removed.http://www.divecourses.co.uk/release.php?prid=41Sub-Mission Dive would like to congratulate all 15 students who attended the PADI Coral Reef Conservation Specialty Course on Monday 28th September. Here at Sub-Mission we are serious about conservation of the aquatic environment and so were pleased that so many students were keen to enhance their knowledge of life on the Coral Reef and how they can have a positive impact on the environment.http://www.divecourses.co.uk/release.php?prid=45It's that time of year again, when we are forced to begin thinking of Christmas, the shopping, the family meals, the office parties. So we've organised the Dive Club party fairly early so that your diaries are clear and there's no excuse why you can't attend. We will help you take your mind off the stress and rush of the festive period with a good old fashioned party. This year, SubMission will be keeping it simple with the only 3 things that matter for a great party, food, music and drink.http://www.divecourses.co.uk/release.php?prid=46SubMission have come up with a fantastic idea to make your familys shopping for you a whole lot easier and for you to actually get what you want for Christmas this year. Why not come in to the Dive Centre or view the online shop and choose a few pieces of dive equipment, such as a new dive torch or those spring fin straps that you've wanted for ages or Dive Courses you would like to complete.http://www.divecourses.co.uk/release.php?prid=47As the end of 2009 approaches, Katy has turned her attention to thinking about the New Year and the scheduling of dive courses for 2010. So if you're planning on completing the PADI Wreck Diver Course during the summer in preparation for a holiday or even learning PADI Drysuit Diving before the winter months, the full schedule for 2010 is now available at the Dive Centre & the website to enable you to book your courses online.http://www.divecourses.co.uk/release.php?prid=48Apeks Marine Diving equipment is probably one of the most popular and prestigious brands of scuba equipment in the UK. They offer a fantastic range of Regulators, Computers, Wings as well as many other essential pieces of diving equipment. They consistently come at the top in independent performance tests throughout the world, reflecting Apeks commitment to investment in research and development. They design, develop, test, manufacture, and assemble products in their purpose-built factory in Blackburn. Apeks is the name diving enthusiasts and professionals trust.http://www.divecourses.co.uk/release.php?prid=65We have been busy of the last few months with various different dive courses and so a few more congratulations are in order to celebrate the achievements of a few students who have recently completed both the PADI Wreck Diver Specialty and the PADI Enriched Air Nitrox courses.http://www.divecourses.co.uk/release.php?prid=52I'd like to say huge congratulations to those students who completed the Coral Reef Conservation Specialty Course tonight. This Specialty was a massive success last year and I'm pleased to say that we've had a positive start to 2010. Hopefully the course will benefit tonight's students when they go on their holidays and interact with the abundance of life on the reef.http://www.divecourses.co.uk/release.php?prid=51It's been a long time since Lyndon started the challenge of the PADI Divemaster course, but after a couple of years of hard work and the interuptions of a busy career we are pleased to congratulate Lyndon on this high achievement.http://www.divecourses.co.uk/release.php?prid=64Are you looking to maximize your bottom time to get more from your diving and spend extra time on your favourite reef or wreck. Then why not try enriched air diving and find out what everyone is raving about.http://www.divecourses.co.uk/release.php?prid=54Buildings are a major source of the greenhouse gases responsible for climate change. Tow-thirds of the energy used by buildings is for hot water and heating. Carefully managing our domestic heating allows us to minimise global warming and to avoid further polluting the air around us.http://www.divecourses.co.uk/release.php?prid=55Quoted by many as the most challenging and rewarding PADI course available, the PADI Rescue Diver program introduces the necessary skills required in the unlikely event of a diving incident.http://www.divecourses.co.uk/release.php?prid=56There are several important changes in 2010 to the PADI Divemaster and PADI Instructor materials and courses. I've tried to set out below the implementation of these changes as well as the implication to you as potential candidates. It's a little confusing to say the least so call in to the Dive Centre if you would like anything clarifying.http://www.divecourses.co.uk/release.php?prid=57Our very first liveaboard holiday was onboard the MV Typhoon and what a great trip we had. It was with regret that we heard this week that the liveaboard, which is part of Tornado Marine fleet and leased by Tony Backhurst, has been completely damaged by a fire that broke out whilst in dry dock.http://www.divecourses.co.uk/release.php?prid=58Are you a PADI Divemaster and are looking for the next challenge. Do you want to get more involved in teaching courses. Do you crave more responsibility. Do you want to become a PADI Instructor but can't dedicate the 7 days required. If your answers are yes, then the PADI Assistant Instructor Course is your next adventure.http://www.divecourses.co.uk/release.php?prid=59Darren and I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Ant and Ant for the successful completion of their PADI Divemaster Course with Sub-Mission Dive Centre yesterday. Both of them have worked extremely hard over the past 4 months to complete each portion of the PADI Divemaster Course. They have approached each new task with a willingness to learn and determination to succeed.http://www.divecourses.co.uk/release.php?prid=60Improve the efficiency of your radiators. Saving energy, especially in your home will have two positive impacts. The first, saving money and lowering your energy bills, is probably the bigger incentive for most people. However, the second positive is that lower or greener energy will also result in lower carbon emissions, which will help to slow the current rate of climate change.http://www.divecourses.co.uk/release.php?prid=61Due to the popularity of the scheduled St Abbs trip in May, we needed to organise a 2nd boat to meet the huge demand. We are pleased to say that this 2nd boat and additional accomodation have been organised.http://www.divecourses.co.uk/release.php?prid=62If you're a PADI Rescue Diver and you're looking for your next challenge why not consider the PADI Divemaster Course. This is not just a course for those looking to progress to Instructor level.http://www.divecourses.co.uk/release.php?prid=63We would like to offer massive congratulations to both Mark and Jackie who gained their PADI Open Water Diver Qualification at the weekend. Even the cold water and winter weather was not enough to stop these two students.
