Last night in Duckinfield pool Garry Dallas was conducting a PADI Side-Mount course. Using multiple tanks Garry was demonstrating gas switching, side-mount techniques and redundant cylinder placement.
There are many advantages to diving side-mount. This style of diving has developed from the cave diving community and now is offered in a PADI course. 
Last night Richard Howes from PADI arrived at DiveLife to present a Teaching workshop to our DiveLife Pro’s. It was a great success.
During the evening we discussed classroom teaching, organisation, confined water training and working as a PADI Pro.
Thanks to everyone for giving up their spare time last night. And a big thank you to Richard Howes for an excellent evening!!!

The other O/W class were mastering skills from confined 2+3. A big thank you to Rob for providing surface cover and Sarah, Richie, Willie and Paul for Instructing in the pool.
A BIG well done to Mark & Tony for completing the PADI Deep Diver course.
Braving the 10c water and murky visibility was taken in their stride as they completed the in water skills needed to become deep diver qualified. Now they can dive to 40m so more wreck diving is available to them.
Also we had Graham, Julian, Dimitri and Paul all testing new kit.
Ian our Instructor was testing Fouth Element under suits back to back (Halo & Arctic).
Last night we certainly had a mixed bag. There was confined pool training for the guys working on becoming certified divers on the 10th-11th December. We had two new trainee tech divers trying out their new twin 12′s. They completed their first shut downs and sharing air skills. Congratulations!
Last night was a great success. The pool was full with Divers training. Discover Scuba, Open water courses, Scuba Reviews and a family having a warm up before they take off for their holidays………lucky them!!!!!
SCUBAPRO has been working on a Trimix algorithm for the Galileo dive computer and has completed extensive product testing.
We are now conducting a final Beta Test of the algorithm before making it available to all divers.
If you are a qualified Trimix diver and want to participate in the Beta Test you can download the application form and send it to the program coordinator along with a copy of your logbook and cerftification card and your Galileo serial and id numbers.
To participate in the program you will need to:
• Own a Galileo Dive Computer (any model)
• Be Trimix certified
• Have logged at least 20 trimix dives
If your application is accepted, you will receive your code through your chosen local Authorized Dealer and use that to download the TMX Upgrade for Galileo (Beta) from the dedicated website.
Then you will just need to perform your trimix diving according to your usual decompression schedule, but carrying your trimix-enabled Galileo with you, then download and send them to us the dive profiles.
Congratulations to the guys for passing their PADI Advanced Open Water Course. And thank you to Alan for teaching it.
We also started a Deep Diver Specialty. 2 dives to the hydro box and some great navigation back to the bus stop. Excellent viz…..up to 15m in some places and temperatures of 12c on the surface and 8c at 35m.
A big thank you to Graham,Rob,and Mike for assisting on the courses. Well done all!!!!!!!
