Last April, we visited Dive2gether, a PADI 5-Star IDC, to check out their facilities. Recently, while enjoying a beach day in Plakias with visiting relatives, we decided to book a couple of boat dives with them. Since we were bringing our own equipment, the dive center requested to test our BCDs and regulators to ensure everything was in top condition for safety.
This summer, my wife’s daughter came to stay with us, bringing along our grandson and her partner, Chris. Chris is a PADI-certified diver, although it’s been a few years since his last dive. When we mentioned the possibility of diving during their visit, Chris lit up with excitement and wasted no time booking his PADI ReActivate session.
My wife and I realized it had been far too long since our last dive — back in October 2021! Wanting to ease back into it the right way, we booked refresher dives with Omega Divers for this morning.
The final part of my marathon training block was the 2-day Oxygen Technician and Gas Blenders course. This started in the classroom, discussing Oxygen handling techniques and enriched breathing mixture (more commonly known as Nitrox or EANx).
There was no rest as I was straight into the Cylinder Testing Part 2 course, the first part of this having been covered in the DITC.
