Back in Grenada

I know I have been a bit quiet around here lately. Well one reason is that we have been back in Grenada for almost 2 months now. I am finding it hard to get motivated here :).

I continue to be in love with this island and its' people. Such a beautiful spot.

We have had alot of people come down this year too (it will be a total of 15!) so we have been a bit busy. In a good way though :).

While we have been enjoying the beach and the water, we haven't dove yet. Another group of friends is coming down next week and they are divers so we will be going under soon! Also, diving is pretty expensive here (unlike our last trip in November to Roatan) so that puts a limit on the amount of diving we do here. All is good though.

I hope this finds you well and you are able to get some diving and/or dive trips in this winter. I would love to hear about it, so please be in touch. Until next time. Happy Diving!

Free 3 Part Video Series For Beginner Divers

Do you go through your air too quickly?

Do you feel like a yo-yo underwater?

Are you nervous and/or anxious when you get on that dive boat?

I know I answered a resounding “yes” to these questions when I first started diving. I was always worried about something going wrong during the dive or looking like the “newbie” in front of the other divers.

I didn’t want to be the one that couldn’t descend, had little control over buoyancy or had to cut the dive short because I ran out of air. And I certainly didn’t want to get the dreaded “bends”.

There was so much to remember and work on, it was a bit overwhelming. Why did some divers seem so calm, cool and collected? How did they know what to do in all situations? And how did they seem to move through the water without any effort?

All reasonable questions. Since I remember what it was like and I want to help you get past that point quickly, I have put together a free 3 part video training series for beginner divers. It is straight forward user-friendly series full of tips, tricks and techniques that will help you become a safer, more confident and more skilled diver on your very next dive.

If you follow the simple steps in this series, you too will soon be acting and, more importantly, FEELING like the seasoned divers you meet on the dive boats. No one will know that you don’t have 500 dives under your (weight)belt!

So let's get diving! Click on the link below to get started.
