Divemaster Trainees from around the world

Left to right: Digby (New Zealand), Abner (Honduras), Anastiina (Finland), Matt (England), Sigita (Lithuania), Riccardo (Italy)

Here are our current divemaster trainees.  Quite the international crew! (Coconut Tree Divers has, after all, always worked to foster good international relations...).  At this point, Riccardo and Sigita will be the next two to graduate to Divemaster.  Many of our graduates have gone on to work in various places in the world, and some have continued on to become Open Water Scuba Instructors doing their IDC with Will.  

If you have done your divermaster internship or IDC with us and would like to be added to our website (look at the "our graduates" section to find yourself), drop us an email with your photo.

As we haven't been so busy, we're taking the opportunity to work with the DMTs (divemaster trainees, for those of you not familiar with the underwater slang) on meeting some of their  course requirements so that when we are busier, they can focus on the practical aspects of becoming a competent divemaster.  Here they are working on their Search and Recovery scenario.

Marco and the DMTs...hope they find the tank (practising for the sunken treasure!)

And finally, providing the entertainment at beer o'clock (as if the EXTRA cold beer isn't enough) - we have our very own master juggler (we'll make a divemaster of him yet!)....

Riccardo and his 5 balls!!

Recent Sightings: 2 fighting Hawksbill Turtles @ Half Moon Bay Wall; 2 Green Morays, Spotted Moray, Sharptail Eel, juvenile Southern Stingray and Caribbean Reef Squid @ Half Moon Bay (Lagoon); Silversides in their thousands (still there!) @ Blue Channel

Dive Site of the Moment: Half Moon Bay Wall - because the black gorgonians on the wall and the soft coral gardens at 40-50 ft are simply awesome.
