<p>From the Open Circuit side of technical diving, under the close supervision and direction of BSAC Technical instructors Ray McKee and Brian Smith, the week of training&nbsp;ran very smoothly. The students enjoyed dives on reefs such as Tower Reef and Woodhouse Canyon with the&nbsp;weather proving to be fantastic for most part of the week with crystal clear warm waters that remained calm and flat.</p>
<p>From the Closed Circuit side of technical diving, BSAC's Mike Rowley provided his expertise, tuition and knowledge to help the divers achieve their CCR advanced mixed gas instructor certificates.</p>
