Well this year we have three months in Carriacou and Devin decided it was time to complete an AOW dive course with Lumbadive which is a PADI instructor school. it will allow Devin to go deeper and be safer so it seems like a great time to get the additional education.
Devin did the online course reviews and they were all pretty easy multiple choice exams at the end. So with those under his belt and the required book knowledge it was time ot get the practical part in.
Richard was my instructor for the 5 disciplines we had to do. It was all great fun and very educational. Devin knew a lot about Mountaineering and Navigation on Land and on te Sea surface but quite lot changes once you go underwater. For a start GPS is not available, so you do it the hard way.

It was also very enjoyable and Devin especially loved the wreck diving part and the underwater search and recovery which could prove necessary in our cruising.

At the end of the course Devin even had a chance to help Richard relocate some moorings in the bay, after finding them first of course.

Thanks Richard for all the experience it was awesome.
