<p>It was an awesome day on the water as I took my Open Water student, Randi, out to finish her last checkout dives.  We dove on the &#8220;Ancient Mariner&#8221; and Lighthouse Ledge Reef and had a great time! We saw a giant Loggerhead turtle and a medium-sized Hawksbill turtle too! Fun, Fun, Fun!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello everyone!</p>
<p>Tuesday, February 7th I had a private Open Water student, <strong>Randi</strong>, doing her first two ocean checkout dives.  Seas were calming down finally as we departed aboard <em>&#8220;Scubatyme III&#8221;</em> headed for <strong>Hillsboro Ledge</strong> and <strong>Horseshoe Reef</strong>.  I ran Randi through her required skills for the day and we also took a tour of the reefs. Dive buddy <strong>Jeanette</strong> was along for the ride, working on her photography skills and looking for good subjects to shoot.  Randi did an excellent job on both dives and is now ready to move on to her final two ocean checkout dives!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello everyone.<br />
With a full month of no weekend diving due to strong winds and high seas, I elected to take a couple of students to Blue Heron Bridge in order to finish their training.  There were about 80 other divers there who had the same idea, yet there was enough room for everyone.  I had one Open Water student and one Advanced Adventure student, and it was real easy to coordinate the dives in such a way that all the necessary skills got done.</p>
<p>Over the course of the two dives, we had a stingray encounter, saw a batfish, flounder, hermit crabs, horseshoe crab, a stone crab eating a jellyfish, parrotfish, spadefish, and a lot more.  The students performed their tasks well and really enjoyed the variety of life we saw.</p>

<p>Another group of happy Open Water students finished up their classes today.  With awesome ocean conditions, great visibility and very few jellyfish to speak of, our dives on the &#8220;Sea Emperor&#8221; and &#8220;Sanctuary Reef&#8221; were amazing and relaxing at the same time.  Everyone was amazed by how much there really is to see on the reefs!</p>

<p>Another great weekend diving with students and doing checkout dives aboard <em>&#8220;Scubatyme III&#8221;</em>.  Everyone was finishing up their Open Water class, and we did a couple of nice drift dives on <strong>Sanctuary Reef</strong> and <strong>Lighthouse Ledge Reef</strong>.  Everyone had a blast and they are all looking forward to their next dives as certified divers!</p>

<p>Today I had a &#8220;mixed bag&#8221; of students: <strong>2 Open Water, 2 U/W Photography and 1 U/W Hunter</strong>.  We had a beautiful day on the ocean as we headed out aboard <strong>Scubatyme Charters&#8217;</strong> <em>Scubatyme III</em> to dive on the <em>&#8220;Peter McAllister&#8221;</em> tugboat and <strong>&#8220;Shark Ledge Reef&#8221;</strong>.  Everyone did a great job on all their skills, the photo students shot about 300 photos, and the hunting student got to practice loading and shooting his gun (unfortunately, there were no fish for him to shoot today).</p>
