June Rebreather Week

This time Stuart Philpott - underwater photo journalist from the UK and Lillian and Mike from Canada joined us for a weeks diving Grenada's wrecks and reefs on rebreather. Even so the water just turned green a week before due to heavy rain and an algae bloom, we did have some phantastic dives and photo opportunities.
Stuart comments on facebook:
grenada is going green! rebreathers are definitely the way to go. i spent around 18hrs underwater, some dives were more than 3hrs long. the inspiration worked perfectly without a single fault all week. aquanauts are a top rate dive centre and the owners, peter and gerlinde, know the wrecks inside out. dive times at 40 metres on a rebreather were around 1 hour with 20 mins deco, not bad eh?
Lillian and Mike are still diving with us, water is back to blue again, but we kind of enjoyed the green, it brought a lot of marine life too. The ocean was just steaming.

Here are some of Stuart's Pictures:
