Good Morning all you Hivers,
yesterday we managed to do another day of boat and shore diving. Surprising to actually have 7 divers yesterday. As our boat paperwork still being held we rented one again but in many ways it made for a very easy day. We have now heard that temp extensions to boat paperwork are being issued. So we are going to get that clarified. it would give us more flexibility but I am happy to do either. With so few people on the ground we are fortunate to even have any divers at all. The bigger operations simply wouldn't be able to run on such a trickle.
If any of you were reading the ramble in the past weeks you would remember we were doing small scale demolition also on the dive shop. I was doing it in digestable sections so we could keep it from being a mess and open up immediately when the time came. It came and I am glad I did it that way. I may do a little more in the afternoons soon. One more little section.
The whole thing really is an exercise in adapting, thinking on your feet and being able to change schedules, operational precedures and adapt to whatever comes our way as we need to make the most of the very little that there is here.
I've even commissioned a new t shirt design also which I will be selling online as I think our loyal customer base will be happy to help in a small way even if they can not be here. The design will also be available on masks, cups, hoodies, stickers etc. Hoping to have that up and available in the coming days. All these little things combined are just aimed to keep us in motion to survive the year
I remain confident we can do this. I didn't see the confidence in a lot of the eyes in a Owner/Managers meeting I went to yesterday. I didn't hang around after very long as nobody really wants to hear that you may be doing ok when they are not.
So Coffee and more coffee now and then into the dive shop. I have some associations that I am required join. They do love an association here so Will need to crack on with that.
Please stay safe and positive out there people wherever you are on the planet.
