ISSUE 6 - JANUARY 2009

Each new year David
and I set an objective for the coming year, in 2008 it was ¨The
Year of Achievement¨. At the start of 2008 we had many hurdles ahead
to cross with the laws of Spain changing for Dive Centres and Commercial
boat owners, in May David became one of the few foreigners to obtain
the Spanish Captains boat licence and then in September we were granted
the new official Dive Centre status. A lot of blood, sweat and tears
went into the process but we got there in the end.
Our
objective for 2009 is to ¨Strive Onwards¨ and not be too disheartened
with the economic pressures around us all and the falling pound, so
to kick start the New Year we have come up with what we hope are some
¨Sterling Offers¨. Click the Pound for details. For our returning
customers booking the normal dive packs and courses outwith the special
offers, we continue to give special discounted prices.
There
are many direct flights to Tenerife from all over the U.K. and Ireland.
Easyjet, Ryanair, Globespan and Monarch have daily flights from many
of the major airports and Thomsons and Thomas Cook have flights 2/3
times each week. For other European destinations there are daily flights
from Germany, Holland, Belgium, Italy and the Scandinavian Countries.
The Red Sea beckons
once again for our Liveaboard trip in 2009. We did
look at other options
for a change but taking into consideration the costs, travel time and
value for money it still came top. The trip Itinerary is the
Brothers and Daedalus departing Gatwick on 16th September 2009.
Last years trip was out of this world with Hammerheads
a plenty, a very close encounter with an Oceanic Whitetip
and of course the Dugong, these were just some of the
highlights. For details of the next trip just click the photo
or email to make your booking.
For
our customers and friends that live in the Euro Zone this trip has never
been so cheap, with the current exchange rate it is 20% cheaper than
last year.

Staying
in the busier areas of Las Amercias and Los Cristianos will always cost
more for food and
drink,
it´s no different to any other main town or city. In Costa Del
Silencio and Las Galletas there are many good bars and restaurants offering
excellent quality food. In Los Abrigos we even have a restaurant which
has a Michelin Star. Our accommodation at Parque Don Jose has always
been priced in pounds so no price increase there, a one bedroom apartment
per week is 220 pounds and a 2 bedroom 290 pounds. We also have other
apartments available in Costa Del Silencio at similar prices or there
is a 3 star hotel just 200 yards away.
