皆さんおなじみのGTDSのガイドのドミニク、先日赤ちゃんが産まれました。女の子で名前は『YURINA』ちゃんだそうです。写真はほかのスタッフに「夜泣きでたいへんで寝れないー」とか「名前は自分の親や姉からとってつけた」とか照れくさそうに説明してるドミです。あの！？やんちゃなドミがお父さんなんてなんか想像しにくいんですけど。今度写真撮ってきてアップしますね－。ではでは。。。
本格的な乾季にはいり、GTDSではこの時期から３月下旬くらいまでは多くのダイバーが来てくれます。もうすでにボートがフル状態の日もでてきています。とは言うもののアップダウンが結構あってがらがらの日もありますが。。。いずれにせよ、この時期のご予約はお早めにお願いいたします！！もうひとつお知らせです。GTDSではPADIインストラクターを募集しています。グアムで働く気のある人はお問い合わせください。ではでは。。。。
これはボートに備えてる緊急時にSOS信号を発信するEPIRBと呼ぶものです。先日Coast Guardから連絡があって『非常信号をキャッチした。場所はブルーホール近辺』。キャプテンに連絡してもつながらない！沈没？もう心臓が口から飛び出しました。。事情はこのEPIRBだけが何かの原因で（←あり得ない）海に落ちてその時ドリフトしたダイバーをピックアップしていたので回収できなかった、ということでした。午後からはその流れたEPIRBをGPSを使って回収作業。４時間探索しましたが海岸から３マイル以上離れたので断念。新規購入$900という結果になりました。今回のドラマはほんとに寿命が縮まる思いでした。よく考えればうちのカタマランは構造上、沈みたくても沈めないんだったよね。。ではでは。。
Now that we’re into January, have you been into the waters yet? Awesome viz has returned. Outside the harbor, we’re seeing minimum 18-20meters (60-70ft) every day. And not sure, but is it possible that the waters can get any warmer? I can attest that at 200’+ (60m+), the temperatures are still in the 80’s (29celcius).
The boat schedule is on the website !!
Check out the schedule for the second half of January. And join us.
Equipment Care - -
Not sure how you do it, but we’ve seen lots of divers who at the end of the dive trip, use the high pressure air from the tank in an attempt to dry the 1st stage intake. Actually, this is the wrong thing to do. And unfortunately, there are some instructors out there who teach it this way. Using high pressure air to ‘dry’ the intake can actually drive residual ocean water into the inner chamber of the first stage, and then the salt begins to corrode the inside of the regulator. Additionally, using high pressure air can actually be harmful to the hearing of anyone around.
The proper steps for stowing your regulator are these: 1. Use a dry cloth (towel) to wipe dry the first stage intake orifice. 2. Use the dry cloth to dry off the dust/moisture cover. 3. Place the dust/moisture cover into position and tighten down, finger tight. 4. Gently coil your regulator’s hoses, so that there are no severe bends or kinks. 5. Stow in your gear bag in such a way as to protect the regulator from external impact.
Looking for when’s the best time to dive? Tide Charts for 2010 are here :-)
We have free tide charts in our downtown dive center across from ACE Hardware. Quite nice they are the regular wall calendar style, with the tides graphically illustrated for every day of each month. So stop by have a chat, and pick one up.
Want to join the Elite of diving ? Becoming an Instructor ?
We’ve got three different scheduled formats available to meet your needs. The first option is a four consecutive weekend schedule. The second option is two long weekends: 4 day weekend (Thur-Sun) and a 3 day weekend (Fri-Sun). The third option is an intensive 7 day program: Mon-Sun.
The dates for the three options are:
4 Consecutive Weekends: March 6th-7th, March 13th-14th, March 20th-21st, March 27th-28th.
2 Long Weekends: March 11th – 14th (Thursday-Sunday), and March 26th-28th (Fri-Sunday)
1 Week Intensive: March 22nd - March 28th (Monday – Sunday)
The Instructor Examination is scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday, March 31st, and April 1st.
These three options include the complete 2010 Instructor Development Curriculum. Also, included in the schedule is the EFR Instructor course. Prior to the Instructor Examination, on Monday and Tuesday March 29th-30th we will be offering specialty instructor training, for candidates who want to begin offering specialties straight away.
We’re here for you, every day of the year -
So give us a call at GTDS, we can not only take you out diving on any day of the year, we can offer you the certification course you need, any day of the year too.
この度、ＧＵＡＭを去ることになったＫＥＮＧＯです。３年間ＧＴＤＳで働いていましたが、とうとう日本に帰る日を迎えることに・・・・。
たくさんのお客様と親しくさせていただきありがとうございましたｍ（．．）ｍ
ショップでの仕事は本日を持って終了。1/7にＧＵＡＭを発ちます。たくさんの思い出がありますが、またいつかどこかで一緒にダイビング出来る日まで・・・・。 ではでは。。。
