Red Camera Video Shoot

"Chris what you doing tonite? Come help me with a shoot this evening" "Okey dokey What we doing?" Film shoots with Andy are always fun, when you work with a professional cameraman with 20 odd years in the bizz you can also learn a thing or two.....asides from that things are always a little off the wall!

Putting it simply Andy from 24-6 Film and Television productions neaded some underwater footage of a female model in a pool and bits of muslin guaze. Last time it was the Surfing Rastefarians this time a professional model. The production stills here are by Jacques Mezger

...

All in all a fun evening

Christmas Day 2008

Those of you who have dived with us will know the Pink Parrot Resturant on the sea front at Las Galletas. Well Christmas Day his lord and master was chosen to draw the raffle for a hamper of goodies. Basically the first ticket he picked that went in his mouth was the winner.

The odd bit of rain on Christmas Day also lead to this great Rainbow

El Hierro 2008

So following the party and diving in Tenerife six of us made our way out to El Hierro. Neil and Tracey "Yorkshire Tight Wad and Nursey Nursey" along with a friend of theirs Lee and Nick Cickmore, Mark and myself jumped on the ferry for the 2.5 hr journey to El Hierro.

Now El Hierro used to be the most westerly point of the known world, La Restinga which is the most southernly point on the island is home to a couple of hundred people and that's it. Or a " One horse town" as Mark described it.

The diving as usual was superb high lights include free swimming globe fish, 2.5m camera friendly grouper, tuna and a shoal of Chopas. (Black fish 1/2 m long 15+kg in weight each)

...

Add into this a meal as the sun goes down in a beach resturant as the sun goes down what more could you want?

All being well we will be running another trip later in the year

Party Time Oh yea...!!!

Five years on Tenerife, two birthdays ending in zero and a new born son! Party time we thought and its fancy dress, no diving related costumes allowed. "Der Mangement" at Tenerife Scuba would like to thank all those people who managed to get away from gainful emply to attend. Also to Westhavenbay for agreeing to host the bash and for their help and hospitality and frantic running around when things almost went horribly wrong due to over booking of the acts. A special thanks to familly for getting here.

We have hundreds of photos from the evening along, with bits of video which will be edited and available on DVD in due course. In the mean time here is a little taster of the evening's events.

You know that things have gone well when people turn around and say "When you throw a party you really know how to throw a party!"

Thank you all for being there.

Bob Marley meets the Beach Boys?

You do some funny old things in the diving business...especially when when you have ties to a film production company. I had a call which went on the lines of "Chris (that's me) Yes Andy" "What you doing tonite? come help with a pop video shoot and bring a sense of humour" "Okey dokey " Said I.

So there we were at 9pm in a 1.2m swimming pool at some body's house somewhere in Adje. The film shoot was for a Reggie band who are in to surfing....yea that right surfing!

The video should be finished when Sion Park opens here in Tenerife which will boast the worlds largest wave machine producing a wave some 10 meters high!

An interesting way to spend a tuesday evening.
