Well done Paul & Sharon

Paul Clapham came to tenerife to learn to Scuba Dive with me at adctenerife, Paul brought his girl friend Sharon with him. Sharon didn't intend to to do very much except to chill and enjoy the sunshine here in Tenerife, but some how she got caught up in the whole process from the 1st day of the course watching the video & the kitting up seeing Paul enter the water & taking his 1st breaths underwater & then seeing the look on Paul's face as he came back from his 1st confined water session ( you know the look the 1 that says woo that was great) I think that was when Sharon made up her mind to have a go her self but she was just a little hesitant.

It wasn't till the next day that she asked me to take her for a try dive, well of course I said OK no problem we can do it at the end of Paul's next session at the end of the day. well the time comes for Sharon to take the plunge as I carry out the dive brief she is very nervous on entering the water she is shaking I gently take her by the hand & lead her out up to her waste taking a few deep breaths through her reg she begins to relax then as she leans forward to take her 1st breaths underwater her fears just disappear.

OK were of in to the blue water around Red cross bay for the 1st few minutes I am holding her hand just to let her know that I'm still there, now Sharon has relaxed completely & starting to play with the marine life around the rocks 40 minuets later and there's that look again (you know the one), well that is it Sharon is hooked but now time is short and she only has time to complete the scuba diver course.

Paul completed his open water course with flying colors and will be back for his advanced open water Sharon is also coming back to finish her open water.

well done to them both
