BONAIRE - BEAUTIFUL 2013

7/24/2013

 
Picture
It is with the greatest pleasure and pride that I get to congratulate the newest PADI Open Water Certified Divers as well as PADI Advanced Open Water Divers and Specialty Divers - certified in Bonaire and with DiveStrong Canada.  Everyone did a fantastic job and I am so thrilled to have introduced and re-introduced you to our awesome ocean world!

Some wonderful things happened with this trip.  Not only was it the inaugural trip for DiveStrong Canada after our inception in February of this year, it was also overwhelmingly attended with students of all levels and interests!  Some new 'spotters' were created on this trip - students spotted the seahorse captured in this shot.  Additionally, while I was focused on skills on various specialties - our Dive Master, Randy was kept busy capturing shots pointed out by our entourage - scorpion fish, eagle rays, sting rays, Peacock Flounders and so much more!


Then, just as I was sure that the beach was going to be a welcome respite to so much in-water activity - the group asked us to guide them around this beautiful paradise to take in some of the sites Randy and I had initially explored in 2012.  With pleasure!  
We visited Bonaire Windsurf Place and did some windsurfing and stand up paddleboarding; toured the island and visited Aletta at Semper Kontentu Goat farm; had lunch at the Harbour Village in the Washington Slagbaai National Park; and feasted at a number of the local food spots including:  The Rib Factory; It Rains Fishes; Spice and Karel's Beach Bar.
Bonaire, land and sea!  Such a great time had by all and so many bucket list items checked off!  
Congratulations and I look forward to leading Dive Strong Canada's next trip - Belize with Hopkins Underwater Adventures in November of 2013!  Contact us to check out trip details, space availability and courses offered.  See you soon!

FREE DAN RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO DIVERS - DIVE SAFETY MONTH

7/2/2013

 
Extensive collection of safety presentations another way for DAN to give back to the diving community

Divers Alert Network has always been and always will be dedicated to the safety and education of the diving community. One way DAN continues to accomplish the organization’s mission is through topical training and informative seminars. In celebration of Dive Safety Month, the organization is featuring 20 of its most popular seminars available online for divers to use to enhance their dive safety education.

Presented by leading dive safety medical and research experts, these safety seminars cover important topics including ear injuries, decompression illness, dive accident management, medications and diving, emergency action plans and much more.

These seminars are great additions to dive club meetings, get-togethers with dive buddies or increase personal dive safety knowledge. Stream them from DAN.org, share the link or, for select topics, request a free DVD from DAN.

“Through these recorded presentations we can more effectively deliver our message and extend our educational outreach to all members of the diving community,” said William Ziefle, DAN President and CEO. “Each presentation contains essential safety information, addressing questions we receive through our Medical Information Line. They are the perfect complement to DAN’s first aid programs and help divers prepare for dive accident prevention and management – at no cost.”

To view the online educational presentations visit DAN.org/onlineseminars. To request a DVD edition of select seminars, please contact your DAN Membership Representative by calling +1-800-446-2671.

Divers Alert Network is the scuba diving industry’s leading source for scuba diving safety and education. In addition to DAN Medical Information Line and 24-hour emergency hotline, DAN offers free educational resources online including medical FAQs, articles and safety quizzes. DAN resources are available worldwide and the organization continues to explore ways to increase diver safety through research studies and first aid training.
