Surf’s Not Up Dude…lets go diving! August 31, 2007
Posted by TheBoss in : Customers , add a commentDiving is not the only thing you can do here in Tenerife. Medano which is just up the road from us has some world class windsurfing and kite sailing, unless of course there is no wind until the afternoon. So what to do with the morning go diving obviously. Which is exactly what qualified divers Patrick,Alan, Nigel and William decided to do and to drag along Guy, Richard and Alister for a try dive.

Nikki, Frankie and the ‘ims August 23, 2007
Posted by TheBoss in : Customers , 1 comment so farWhat do you do when father and son like windsurfing and mother and daughter like diving well Tenerife fits the bill. Staying in El Medano which is home to some world class windsurfing takes care of the boys. While we get the girlies, except for one day where the boys joined us no wind. Nikki and Frankie spent a week with us joined by another pair of loonies the ‘ims Kim and Tim. I think Frankie’s comment in the guest book summed the week up “It was easy for me to join in, despite the age gap, since mentally we were the same age!” I’m sure she was talking about you Tim.

Fire in Tenerife pictures from the south of the island August 2, 2007
Posted by NewsMan in : News , add a commentI’m sure by now everyone has heard of the fire that started in the north of Tenerife. Living here in the very south of the island we have been spared the fire itself but even so we were aware what what going on. One of the side effects has been very patchy Internet connectivity, hence the delay in posting this.
The fire itself followed several days of Calima (wind and very fine sand from coming in from Africa) temperatures hit the mid forty’s in the street and even 32 deg C here in our normally cool dive centre.
The first thing we were really aware of was a noticeable drop in the air temperature mid afternoon. Looking towards Teide it looked as though there were vast clouds obscuring the mountain and blocking out the sun, hence the reason for the drop in temperature. For a few minutes we and our Spanish neighbours thought they were simply storm clouds, but as the sun turned an eiry shade of red, news started filtering through of a fire in the north of the island. The scale of the fire though was something that no one realised until later in the evening when reports started coming through on local television.
