Congratulations to Jethro Hauser, Michelle Engelbrecht and Phil Robertson on passing their instructor courses with flying colours. Congratulations also to Mark Shaw and Rachael Robertson for becoming Staff Instructors.

Our two wonderful friends Ryan and Charmaine Zents cruised back into town on a rented 3 wheeler Mercedes bike to go on a road trip down to Cape Town. See you next week for your dives guys.

You possibly saw on TV or read it in a newspaper that one of the top skippers on Aliwal Shoal namely Jeff Maullin had a boat accident on the 2nd January 2010. He fought for a month to live after suffering severe head injuries, cuts from the propeller, loss of sight to his right eye, broken bones and was in a coma for 10 days. He is now fighting to survive financially.

As friends of his and as a dive centre we have named the next long weekend (24th, 25th, 26th and 27th April) “Jeff’s weekend”. On these four days we will be donating R10.00 from each and every dive booked to him for his medical expenses. Please come and make a difference.

If anyone would like to make personal donations please contact us for his bank details.

Well I could not resist taking this picture of our staff member Raggie after a hard days work. How cute is she.

Madagascar here I come. Well just to let you all know that on Saturday 13th I will be on my way to this beautiful island paradise for a week of diving and relaxing. Will do a check while I am there and see if we can organise trips so keep on watching this space. Will post pictures and information when I get back. Check out www.sakatia.co.za - Pam

The author Kevin Rushby came to dive with the centre and wrote this amazing article.

Well look what we get our DM's to do after their dives which is why our school gear is always in pristine condition. The sun was blazing and our wonderful Jethro was taking apart each and every mask, cleaning them and de-sanitising them for your use. You go boy
