Semana Santa is over. Did not seem too crazy after all except the loud music at night.
So, I promised Kal to post the Cow song from Tyll, which is not from Tyll at all, he modified it. So am not sure it qualifies. But found other gems in Tyll’s treasure box.
But before we get to that, a little update might be in place.
After a very slow fall season it got busy around Christmas. Shop full of very nice people and then there was this high maintenance couple who ran from their bill. Well that was a learning curve. Have only had this happen once before in all the years. Everybody was so upset that this happened to us.
Mid February into March was like a big busy family reunion. It was wonderful. Also having Jenny Blenny and Ben around was just an extra treat.
We had 2 Birthdays we celebrated next door at The Buena Vida. Thanks Kimberly to be on top of that and help arranging the get togethers for Elizabeth and David.
This is Silke and her dad Bernd who did his open water. He decided to learn English now.

Am glad I first broke my wrist later. If you decide to walk to West Bay, be aware of very slippery rocks that have to be scrambled over in a certain section.
We have been very happy to have Anika and Giles Working with us and are sad they will be leaving soon. Working their way back to the States to get married. All the best wishes and hope they will be back one.day. Rather sooner than later.
The first dive at the point after a couple of days with rain and strong winds, was amazing. It was Patti and Jims second time here, and that dive was their best ever. A school of about 200 horseeyed Jacks!!!!
Photogenic turtles on other dives are always something special.
The water temperature is taking its time to warm up this year it seems. Air temperature not so much.
Hopefully this year will give us all a bit more steadiness business wise instead of the previous couple of years with either feast or famine.
Big thank you to all our loyal divers/friends, instructors and divemasters.

Let us introduce Amanda and welcome her to Tyll's Dive. Amanda is taking over from Kala who is going back to Canada mid June. We don't need to change on the board that we speak Canadian, since Amanda is also from Canada.
Luckily Clay and Lisa arrived from Arizona on thursday, after not having been here for about two years, and wanted finally do their advanced course. Here they are going over homework, and what they saw on the dive.
We just returned from our trip Sunday night, so I am just beginning to get caught back up with reality ; )
We VERY MUCH enjoyed our scuba diving experience with you and Monique.
Everything went very smoothly--Tony was wonderful--and it was VERY reassuring to know that you had those details handled for us ahead of time.
I was very glad not to have to deal with the scammers at the port and have to haggle on transportation to and from your place and be assured return to the ship on time. Not knowing the local customs, and being a single mother, I was very leary and YOU made it all work out just perfectly!
Tony was a true gentleman and very attentive.
That being said, it was our scuba experience with you all that was BY FAR the highlight of our trip! We can't wait to come back and are thinking of maybe staying out there on the West End by you somewhere for a week next year and really take the time to enjoy that gorgeous little piece of paradise!
Be sure to Thank Monique for holding my hand throughout the entire dive experience--I was clearly the most difficult diver and she was a true GEM! Love HER!
When things settle down here a bit I will send the photos you requested and would be happy to write a review for you on Trip Advisor or do anything else I can to help you and your wonderful business thrive!
It has been a very nice week at Tyll's Dive, with team Canada. Fabio and Steve brought friends down for this trip. Staying at the Jenny Blenny house. They brought beefjerkey, and on special request from Kirk, Jim Morton Coffee.(Hope I got the name right)seems like a real big thing for Canadian coffeedrinkers:-) As always when we all have a good time, the week is over. so of course we had to do the GROUPPHOTO. This time everyone is in. Except Marcos. He had to go home. The new bench held up quite well. But we figured, we need extra support for middlepart. Anyways here is Team Canada/Tem Tyll's: Steve, Kala, Mo, Dorte, Uwe, Fabio Yusef, Nadine, Kirk, Umbalumba (Ryan), Noelle, Andres.
In a few weeks Fabio and Steve from Canada will be visiting again. Bringing a bunch of friends down for diving and fun in the sun. There should be a few bags of beef jerkey arriving as well.
