Oh yes, you heard it folks...love is in the air on the CTD deck this week! Bow-chicka-bow-wow! California couple Jen and Jason have been together for three years and couldn't resist a little alone time together in Roatan. They are adorable and Natasha says
Jen is her lucky diving charm! These two lovebirds tagged along for the wreck dive on Natasha's Advanced Course and they spotted TWO Moray eels, extra-friendly garden eels, the biggest grouper EVER, massive schools of Blue Tang and a turtle to
top it all off! Incredible!
Speaking of the Advanced course, congrats to (in order of appearance below) Phil, David and JP for finishing theirs! Phil is a Grade 7 teacher and avid surfer from California while David and JP are highschool teachers from Montreal. These three could simply not believe the String of Pearls last night and didn't want to get back on the boat! JP described it as, "the best experience of my life!" That was, of course, until he fell in-love with El Aguila
(the wreck) this morning!

Sadly we do have to say goodbye (for now) to our longtime friend, Andreas. This New Yorker has been to Roatan FIVE times to dive at CTD and has logged over 120 of his 183 dives on our reefs! His fave sites are Hole in the Wall, Spooky Channel and Bear's Den. Nice to see you again, Andreas! We'll catch you on the flip side.
On a not so side note, a very big welcome to our three new DMTs. Abner and Ewilina are two more lovebirds here to learn the ropes.
Bob (below) has decided to take a career break after hearing about CTD and the DMT program from Instructor Bisch (a former DMT and IDC star). A Roatan regular, he's already fitting in very well.
Before we sign off this post, we'd like to mention Seagrape season! UGH. While it is the absolute bane of Gay's existence (sweep, sweep and sweep the deck some more), PJ has decided to see the glass as half full. He spent his only day off making Seagrape jelly and, although the initial tasting was "f*ck!ng disgusting" according to PJ, 4 1/2 cups of sugar sure made it taste better. The verdict is out until the official taste test next Wednesday.
We have yet to decide on who the victim...err...lucky person will be!
