A quick update

An era has come to an end. The Blenny House and cabins has been sold.
Between packing up and sorting out stuff, Jenny Blenny did find some time to come diving at Tyll’s. Many good memories and fun times to think back on. Wish Jenny all the best in France and we are sure some of her future travels will include a stop on Roatan for some more diving.
For a long time we did not take any divemaster trainees, but accepted Vincent earlier this year. We found we were busy enough to offer him good training and get enough experience that we would hire him. Well he had to go back to Canada.



When he comes back he will be an instructor and we hope we will have work for him.
We are now in August. Waiting for the Silvesides madness to return to Blue Channel. While waiting there have been so many great sightings. Pipe horses, Juvenile Trunkfish, also known as the Pea, Eaglerays, Turtles. You name it.


Tyll’s Dive is happy to see many of our “old” divers returning after a break of 6-8 years not being here. It has been amazing.
One of them is Wolfgang now doing his divemaster.

Slow down 2014, you are a way too fast moving year!

We at Tyll's Dive are (among many others) glad to leave 2013 behind us and start up on a fresh, clean page with many hopes for 2014.
This wonderful group of divers gave us a great start.


Having many of our repeat divers (now like friends and family) coming back around the same time every year is something we always look forward to.
We have added quite a few new members to the dive family.

Kimberly and Gary organized a fix the deck workshop one Sunday. Thank you all so much for spending a Sunday sweating,sawing and hammering. Here is the crew. Scott, Terry, Gary and Phil. Kimberly is supervising and Christian must be next door pulling nails out of reusable floor boards.


We did not find any treasures or monsters underneath the deck. But the cats, Blanca and Bailies are still not convinced - about the monster part.

We are glad to have Mel back,but we have not yet had many opportunities to play Scrabble. Phil and Tess who had been cat sitting and covering for her, went onto their next adventures. Phil and Tess, we can not thank you enough for all your help, support, hard work, enthusiasm, and being creative by giving the dive shop a little face lift with colorful signs.


For the diving part. Recently there have been seen Seahorses, Pipehorses and Harlequin Pipefish, last week was Eagleray week, then the weeks with the little puffers every where. Turtles, Drumfish and I could keep going.


Kal took some really nice photos. He has turned himself into be Tyll's Dive private u/w photographer and does not mind to share his photos with other divers.


Here is Kal.
Congratulation to Willem's 3 Open Water students Tracy, Michelle and Tino who just got certified.
