Wind, Wind and More Wind but 5 dives on the weekend

Congrats to Gary who finished his OW course with a referral from TO to see me for the weekend. At first I was not that happy with his performance which was typical for most starters. After the second dive with some talking and adjusting equipment he did alot better. I then decided that he could finish his checkouts on a wreck the next day.
We started on thursday with wind and sunday it was still blowing but we made it to the Wolfe Islander with no problems. The first dive of the day he held the line and down we went at 40 feet he still hadn’t added enough air so was struggling and when he sorted it out. off to the skills we go. Then after the ascent at 15 feet he let go of the line and started hoovering as tech wannabee divers came down the line and members from Kingston came holding the line for dear life.
So the last dive he had it down, hoovering and slowly kicking no silt and and quite comfortable so I passed him smiles around. The other instructor on the boat came over and started asking question about the gear and my methods while bouncing up and down in three foot rollers all the way home.
