Coral Reef Squadron red-flagged
2008-05-04 07:30:00 Coral Reef Squadron red-flaggedAs reported earlier about the artificial reef in Phuket, which was about to be set up tomorrow, the procedures had to be halted due to bad weather conditions and is currently postponed to November.PHUKET CITY: The sinking of 10 decommissioned military aircraft – nicknamed the Coral Reef Squadron – to create Thailand’s largest artificial reef has been postponed until November, Tourism Authority of Thailand South Region 4 Office Director Suwalai Pinpradub announced today.Speaking at a press conference this afternoon, K. Suwalai said that the strong winds and large waves that have arrived with the rainy season monsoon have now made it too dangerous to sink the aircraft in Bang Tao Bay.The operation was set to begin today and wrap up with Tourism and Sports Minister Weerasak Kowsurat and Thai celebrities attending the final-day festivities on Monday.A date has yet to be set for the operation to continue, K.

PADI Specialty of the month May 2008; Multilevel and Computer diver
2008-05-04 04:48:00 PADI Specialty of the month May 2008 ; Multilevel and Computer diverIt's that time of the month again, time to high light PADI's specialty of the month.This time around it's the Multilevel and computer diver specialty.During Instructor training some students aren't too enthusiastic about this specialty, for the reason that they think that the Wheel is not interesting enough. What they seem to forget though, is that this specialty actually covers computer diving as well and has a lot more theoretical knowledge development than most instructors wish for. Anybody for some half times and M-Values?Do you want to maximize your dive times? (Of course). Want to get the most out of your dive computer and The WheelTM? (Naturally). Then the Multilevel Diver Specialty course is for you.In this course, you learn how to plan dives that extend your bottom time by crediting you for slower nitrogen absorption when you ascend to a shallower depth. That’s the way you really dive, after all. You... More About: Padi , Month

Swedish girl dies from jellyfish sting on Koh Lanta
2008-04-05 11:18:00 Swedish girl dies from jellyfish sting on Koh LantaHaving just posted a blog entry last month about the presence of box jelly fish in Thailand, this week a Swedish 10 year old girl died from jellyfish stings on Koh Lanta, although there's no reports of box jelly fish in this tragic event, it just shows how dangerous these animals can be.My condolences for the family of the child.Here's the full story as reported in the The Local, Sweden's news in English paper, as reported on 3rd April 2008;A Swedish girl died on Thursday morning in a swimming accident on the tourist island of Koh Lanta in Thailand.The girl went into anaphylactic shock--a severe allergic reaction--after being stung by a jellyfish,” said a nurse to the Aftonbladet newspaper.The 10-year-old girl was swimming in the waters off of Klong Dao Beach when she was stung by the jellyfish.She suffered a quick, hypersensitive reaction and was taken to hospital where doctors worked for an hour and a half but couldn’t save...

Don't drown on your Thailand holiday
2007-11-06 04:00:00 This is excellent reading!Having just joined the Thorn Tree forum, the official Lonely Planet travel forum, where lots of good travel advise and information can be found, I stumbled over a prolific poster there, Tezza, who runs a couple of blogs, one about beaches and islands in Thailand and on this specific blog, he has a great post about not drowning during your Thai holiday.You may think, what is all this about and it won't concern me, but have a look and read up on it, he talks about rip tides and undertows and this should be required reading for everybody visiting Thailand, especially during the rainy season, when the likelihood of these rip tides is greatest! This includes you potential Divemasters and Dive Instructors out there, read up on this! It's a subject I was about to write about somewhere in the near future, since the rainy season is about to start, or should I rather say, started already with a vengeance, see my Samui weather blog for more info, and a few weeks ag...

Specialty of the month November 2007
2007-11-05 13:44:00 Equipment is this month' Specialty.Equipment seems to be the right choice, since in Europe the diving is almost over in the northern countries and with this Specialty, one can still offer a course to keep divers interested.Here in Thailand, this course can be taught all year round but right now, with lots of rain and relative low visibility during the rainy season, it may well be a Specialty, that although it keeps you out of the water, it's still diving related.If you want to find out about how your dive gear works, then this Specialist course is for you. This course familiarizes you with the operation and maintenance of your dive gear. The more you know about how your gear works, the more comfortable you are with it, the more performance you get from it and the better you can care for it.This Specialist course is not an equipment repair program bit it does give you general knowledge of dive gear (theory, principles and organisation) and maintenance procedures amongst others.Inte...

More Gas Blending
2007-11-04 07:13:00 Today one more Gas Blender Instructor saw the light.Stuart took op the opportunity to complete the DSAT Gas Blender and DSAT Gas Blender Instructor course before he took off to Phuket, later today.Here is Stuart, sweating it out during the Gas Blender exam, 50 questions and a passing rate of 80% is required, which he managed easily. Stuart at the controls. During the exam, there are some questions that need to be answered with a DSAT Gas Mix Calculator, a CD-Rom that comes with the manual(s).Stuart's interest was peeked for this course after he completed the Nitrox Instructor course with me. He was already certified as a Nitrox diver. Being a Nitrox Instructor however, is a prerequisite for the DSAT Gas Blender Instructor course. Showing off his filling skills. Tanks everywhere and Stuart being happy to fill them up. A picture of the boss and Stu at the end of the day.

Instructor Specialty Training in progress
2007-11-02 12:47:00 Since three days we're busy conducting Instructor Specialty Training with Ivo and Elliott.Two days ago we started at Chaweng Beach with the Navigation Specialty which we conducted in low visibility, which actually benefits this specialty and really puts extra demands on your navigational skills.Yesterday we conducted two Search & Recovery training dives to complete this Instructor specialty at Japanese Garden around Koh Nangyuan, near to Koh Tao.Here's Ivo at board of the Seatran ferry, on the way to Koh Tao today, where we conducted a Deep dive (one out of two) and a Naturalist dive for the respective Instructor ratings.

DSAT Gas Blender Instructor Course
2007-10-26 18:06:00 Naz wanted to get the most of his stay on Samui.That's why he went to the Full Moon party on Koh Phangan tonight, but before he did that, he completed the DSAT Gas Blender course and the Gas Blender Instructor course with me, after already having successfully completed the IDCS course yesterday with the completion of the current IDC course. During the tank filling he did fall in love with one the tanks and we had to painfully separate him from the tanks. Part of the course is also Oxygen cleaning, where you clean equipment parts so they become oxygen compatible. This is Naz in front of the ultrasonic bath, the little white box next to him. This bath is used to clean equipment parts in vinegar/water solutions or Simple Green (hi Dave!) solutions by shaking the dirt loose. A filled Nitrox tank, by the master Naz himself! Congrats Naz, hope to see you back soon, it was fun!Camille

Update on the current IDC, the AI part
2007-10-18 14:39:00 Tomorrow the AI (Assistant Instructor) part of the current IDC will be completed.Up till now we have consequently been busy during this IDC. All 4 candidates have completed 2 classroom presentations and 2 confined water presentations each and they sat through a good hand full of classroom presentations presented by me. On top of that they also completed and passed a skill circuit consisting of 20 skills in confined water.Besides an Open Water presentation, a General Standards exam and 5 dive related exams, which will be conducted tomorrow, they will be Assistant Instructors. Although, they only have one day off to enjoy their new status before they continue on with their OWSI program, so they eventually can pass the PADI IE.

DSAT Gas Blender Instructor Course and Equipment Instructor Specialty
More articles from this author:2007-08-23 19:16:00 The DSAT Gas Blender Instructor Course and Equipment Instructor SpecialtyWas on the program today (well, technically yesterday, the 23rd). The DSAT Gas Blender course consists of two parts, the Gas Blender part and the Gas Blender Instructor part. Laura is participating in this course and on the same day we were also looking into the Equipment Instructor Specialty, since filling Nitrox tanks is slow business with our partial pressure filling system and this gives plenty of time to combine these courses.One of the prerequisites for becoming a DSAT Gas Blender is that one is a PADI Nitrox diver and for the DSAT Gas Blender Instructor course that one is a Nitrox Instructor, both ratings held by Laura.Here she's looking at the ultrasonic bath, a machine that cleans, in this case, dive equipment, like regulator first stages, or in this case, helps to make equipment 'oxygen clean'.The Gas Blender course is a 1 day course which is very challenging, since setting up and operating a safe ... 1, 2 |
