Mr. Gypsy is working on his instructors this week!


Well, Mr. Gypsy has been hitting the books this past week, and has been very busy with getting his Instructors. Very proud of my hubby, as he is doing very well.

Here are some pictures of the water portion of the class.

Robin was the course director, and George owns the dive shop (the actual name of shop), here in Saskatoon, he is being PADI certified.

Looks C O L D !!!
I took my PADI classes in FT Lauderdale where the water is warm.

Got my Instructor's in 1983, taught 4 classes in Ft Lauderdale and went back to diving my Divemaster card.

Went on a cattle boat in the Keys and the Divemaster didn't show up.
I got tagged so the boat could leave the dock and babysat the crowd instead of enjoying my dives.

Now I dive with my Advanced Open Water Card !!!

I've got 9 Alum 80's and 3 50's that are in Ft Laud.
When I can get my buddy to come visit and bring the tanks, I will bring them to you and Juan in Asuncion !!!

Best wishes and warm waters !!!
Hope we can dive together this Christmas !!!

Diver, not that cold, we dive with dry suits here!

We know all about the catle boats in the keys, dove them, and todd just tries to blend in with the boat!

KUDOS TO THE GYPSY FAMILY


That Saskatchewan preliminary diving instruction will certainly hone your skills, PLUS you can teach the Asuncion people how to dive in ..er..adverse conditions.

He is one of God's frozen people and certainly one of God's frozen divers!

Good luck to him in his new adventure...

I think I still have an old Henderson dry suit around somewhere.
Thank goodness; I'm sure it won't fit anymore :lol:

I've got one more contract to get signed and then we will know for sure about Baja this winter.
I have been having a hard time getting around lately; with all my fingers and toes crossed !! :o :biggrin:

Did Mr. Gypsy complete his PADI SCUBA Diving instructor's course?

What was the date of completion?
What is is Instructor's certification number?

What next?
