I do love mornings. I am that annoying morning person that non morning people love to hate. The mornings are great and in the dive shop, if it's busy, the buzz is electric with people arriving with that excitement of going on their underwater adventure. I guess i am a little like a vampire and I feed off the energy of having lots of people around happy and excited.
After arriving and parking the trusty beast in the hallway I have all the menial chores like unlocking the rooms.
Compressor room, very important as without it we can’t fill the tanks. It's very much the heartbeat of the dive shop
Filling/tank room. Benjim is nearly always here about the same time as I am. Sometimes a little after my first coffee and other times patiently waiting for me to arrive. I think his wife kicks him out the house early.
Rick ( Mr Shark Repellant) is here 3 times a week and Divemaster Earl takes care of him on those days.
Hive account@biggypauls cramming some dives in before Sadly returning to the UK in a weeks time. He will be missed around here. My bearded Bro. Hmmm It’s going to feel a little empty around here.
Compressor Man Danny! Looking chirpy first thing in the morning. I do like singing to him “ Oh Danny Boyyyy the tanks the tanks are filling” I’m not sure he gets it but I like it and it always gets a smile out of someone, or a roll of the eyes. Any emotional response will do.
Wow, not had that many bikes out front for a while. When things were busy all the time we did have people come in frequently asking us if we rented bikes. They clearly didn’t read the signage .
And they are away for the 1st dive. I wonder what they will see today?? Turtles maybe, perhaps a whaleshark, no no Ricks on the dive that will never happen. He needs to apply for a job as a Lifeguard on some shark infested Australian beach. Everyone would be safe if Rick was there, not a shark in sight.
Well that was my morning at the dive shop. How was yours?
is buzzing! Is it the coffee?
