Teaching Open Water Student in the Sun today but not?

Just got mine today through Amazon. Some of you may know the author. Rod Wilson is an Aquanautics Diver and Instructor. Get yours. I opted for the hard cover.

Congratulations to Fiona on completing her PADI Open Water Scuba Diver certification on April 20, 2024. Her Birthday. Celebrated with Chocolate Cake with chocolate chips and chocolate icing. Does it have to be a birthday? Can’t we celebrate all certifications that way?

Congrats to Alina. Los Angeles and State of California have weather alerts. High surf and Hurricane Hilary warnings, Catalina Island evacuated. Everyone suggested to stay home. Master Instructor David Silverman and Alina do a night dive off the beach in Redondo and move on to do some of her Rescue Skills. Claims of flat water, no surf. Sightings of shrimp, horn sharks, halibut and octopus. Then home before Hilary wakes up.

These pictures are all from one dive at Redondo Beach. Stop and look around. If you don’t see anything it might not be because there is nothing there to see?

So today again I heard another diver complain about how Redondo Beach - Veterans Park is Blah in terms of a dive site. All these pictures are from one dive at the Blah dive site. So I respectfully disagree. It might not be the dive site with an issue ?🙄😬

Congratulations and best wishes to Aquanautics Dive’s MSDT instructor Hayley Friedman. A new Assistant Dive Safety Officer in training at the California Science Center Aquarium.

New open water class of 6 starting in the pool today. Another class of 4 starting next week. A 2 person Reactivate class this afternoon. 2 Divemaster candidates in pool all day auditing. Enriched Air Class going sometime this week coming. Advanced class of 3 starting next week. I think this hobby has gotten out of control?

Aquanautics Dive at the Scuba Show. Some expected, some unexpected. Glad to have gone.

Congratulations to Jacob on finishing his Advanced class off the beach. In the last two months he has completed his Open Water and Advanced class and has had the boat canceled twice the day before the dive because of weather . Next week he is scheduled to complete his Boat Diver Specialty on the same boat! What could go wrong? 🤞

Dive 1 done, Dive 2 same beach different spot. Beautiful day at the beach. A bit chilly but you can’t always have everything, every time, every where?

Dive boat canceled Again today because of weather. So off to the beach instead. Instructor Hayley finishing up Jacob’s Advanced class at Refugio State Beach. Low tide, slight breeze, flat water, easy entry, blue water. But you can see the beach has had a rough time with the recent weather. Camp grounds flooded palm trees on the edge.

There is no stopping her now😳
Congratulations to Hayley

Instructor Hayley Friedman taking Andrew, Jacob, and Benjamin in on their final Open Water dive for their PADI Open Water Scuba Diver certification dive. We were scheduled on a dive boat that canceled because the storms. We reserved spots last second for Catalina Express which canceled trips Friday and Saturday. It is cold but we had the boat and dive park all to ourselves. Flat water and good viz. Success

Wow. Big Surprise! I think the dive park at Casino Point just got smaller?

Chris Lowe and some others from the CSLUB Shark Lab have taken the DAN Diving First Aid for Pro Divers Course at Aquanautics Dive.

'Sea of Change: The New Sharks of SoCal' examines new shark gathering spot The number of great white sharks along the Southern California shore is soaring. ABC7's Leanne Suter set out with a team of researchers to find out what's bringing them here, and what it means for those taking to the water.

Fine art. From a trip I took to DC.

Happy New Year to all! In the last couple of months 2 other dive shops closest to us have closed. This is a disheartening trend for the dive community. That said on January 1 we signed up our first student of the year to become a new Open Water Diver? Come join the next class starts Jan 28. Support your local dive shop before there not anymore.

Aquanautics Dive divers are some of the most beautiful in the world. 2019 Miss Iran is an Aquanautics Dive PADI Open Water and PADI Advanced Open Water Diver. 2018 Miss Mexico is an Aquanautics Dive PADI Open Water Diver. Just sayin!

Wow! Just got notification that on Jan 10, 2023 PADI will now send E-Card Certifications using their App instead of physical cards. Then what are we doing this for?
