Let me introduce you to one of the best boys I have ever met: Matty 'dread logs' Alexander! 

When I started working for this company, 2 years ago, he was one of the dive master trainees with not much diving experience but already with his long weird hair.
​
Unfortunately, after only a couple of weeks into his training he decided to jump into a tender and break his ankle.
That meant a little break from work and diving for young and wild Matty.  However, after he recovered, he was back with us, better than never before!

Last but not least..a little mention of another key member of  the A-TEAM:   Jai Holland!   

​I had the best time of my life working with these two legends! 

It was always a pleasure to work with you guys! #seriousdiving    #seriousfun   

Time to move on, safe travels and best luck in western Australia Matty!   Send us some photos of the Whale-sharks!

The Great Barrier Reef is one of the seven wonders of the natural world. It is larger than the Great Wall of China and the only living thing on earth visible from space. The great barrier reef is the world’s largest individual formation created by living organisms.

As the largest coral reef in the world, the Great Barrier Reef includes over 900 islands, over 2,900 separate reefs, and supports one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world.

The reef stretches 2,300 km along the north eastern coast of Australia and it covers over 133,000 square miles (344,000 sq km).

Time to explore!

The Great Barrier Reef can be seen from outer space and is the world's biggest single structure made by living organisms. This reef structure is composed of and built by billions of tiny organisms, known as coral polyps.

A large part of the reef is protected by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, which helps to limit the impact of human use, such as fishing and tourism.

The Great Barrier Reef has long been known to and used by the Aboriginal Australian and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and is an important part of local groups' cultures and spirituality.
​Nowadays the Reef is a very popular tourist destination especially from Cairns and the Whitsundays. 

Did you know that over two million people are visiting the Great Barrier Reef each year?? 
​Good connecting flights from Europe or America and cheap direct flights from Asia or Indonesia transfer hundreds of tourists to tropical Cairns everyday. 

Check out below my latest introductory dive team who just arrived yesterday to see one of the natural wonders of the world!

Right after finishing her SSI Instructor Course, Anna had the opportunity to come to our live aboard and put into practice all she learnt over her training. Whilst being Dive Master, she was in charge of already certified divers only, taking them for dives, looking after them and showing them around the best spots on the reef. 

This time however, she was involved in a real mission! Getting newbies to learn how to scuba dive from scratch and make sure they both felt comfortable enough performing the skills and able to keep diving on their own in the future. 

The first introductory dive was challenging, since it was the first time ever that they put scuba units on and breathed under water. One student was slightly more comfortable in the water than the other, which made it a more interesting course to start with for Anna. Having two different students with different levels of confidence lets you have a better understanding of the importance of having a good group control and accommodate to their needs. 

Dive after dive (9 in total!) they both exceeded our expectations and improved a lot, reaching a satisfactory level of comfort in the water in order to get certified as SSI Open Water Divers. 

Practicing all the skills from dive one in the Great Barrier Reef allows you to become more confident for your future diving adventures. The first few sessions are the most important and are always performed in confined open water, but that means you are in a real environment rather than in a swimming pool. Plus, you also get to see stingrays swimming around you whilst you perform the skills, like Elmira and Heather did! 

All in all, Anna did very well for her first Open Water Course and her students left super happy and excited for future diving adventures.
