February Diver Of The Month
If February has anything to go by, it’s not going to be an easy task each month sifting through the applicants for an ultimate monthly winner.
February’s candidates were buddy team Gary and Merv for their hilarious wit & banter and keeping everyone entertained on and off the boat and also for bringing re breather diving to Elite Diving.
There was also Sam Richards who’s diving skills and confidence rocketed very quickly and went from shore diving to diving into the bowels of the world famous world war two wreck SS Thistlegorm within a few days.
In the end we had to settle on a winner and February it went to Mary Wood who came to Sharm El Sheikh on her own to try as much as she possibly could but never thought in her wildest dreams that she would be going home a qualified SCUBA diver after completing her SCUBA diving lessons.
Mary won this month’s award as she overcame a massive personal hurdle. Mary firstly enrolled on a Discover SCUBA session at Sharks Bay, where you get to learn first step theory and in water basic skills and a dive to open water. She admitted she found she was far more nervous than she though she would be and this initially held her back. Her nervousness was obvious but also was her determination not to let it get the better of her. She benefited form one to one tuition and eventually overcame all her fears to achieve the SCUBA Diver certificate. She even did a day boat diving after completing her course, where she dived the World famous Ras Um Sid headland on a drift dive.
Mary comes form Hamilton in Scotland. She could be a descendant of William Wallace with the grit and determination she showed!!!!
