September 2008  - WOW Hosts IDC and IE

In September 2008, World of Watersports and the Hilton will be hosting a PADI Instructor Development Course, followed by a PADI Instructor Examination.  If you are interested in becoming a PADI Instructor and have already achieved the qualification of PADI Divemaster, then contact us for pricing and availability.  What better place to come and continue your training that at the dedicated facilities of the biggest and best dive centre on the island.

Classroom training will be done either in our own dive centre or the conference facilities of the Hilton, with the pool training done in the only designed and dedicated dive pool on the island.  The Open Water sections of the training can be completed in the warm blue waters of Tobago.

Email us at info@worldofwatersports.com for more information.

December 2007 - Delta Flies into Tobago

For all of our American divers we have excellent news. Delta Airlines have confirmed that as of the 15th December 2007 they will be flying direct from Atlanta to Tobago.  This makes the journey a lot simpler than flying to Trinidad, and getting another hopper flight to Tobago.  If you need help arranging flights either direct or via the Tobago Express hopper, then let us know.

November 2006 - New BSAC instructors!

This month we added three new BSAC instructors to our team!  Mike Thomas made a special trip to Tobago to train three of our staff in a crossover from PADI.  It was a week long training course whereby myself, John and Lynne all got to know a lot more about BSAC, and maybe even helped Mike know a little more about PADI.

I would like to thank Mike and BSAC for offering us this opportunity and putting so much faith in us.  We're the only BSAC training centre on the island.  With Sean Robinson (BSAC Advanced Instructor), we have all the BSAC instructors on the island, and are able to cover any and all of your BSAC training in Tobago.  

March 2006 - School Dive Trip

At the very end of March 2006, we were visited by 13 lads and three staff from Caldicott School in Buckinghamshire, UK. Most of the young men hadn’t dived before, and it was the start of a week long adventure, which saw each of them attain the level of Junior Open Water Diver. For an entire week the boys ate, slept and breathed scuba information, with the exception of a game of soccer with the Speyside local boys on their final day.

It was hard work for them, but they rose to the challenge marvellously, and were incredibly well behaved, polite lads, who were a credit to their families and staff at the school. We hope, one day, to have them back for their advanced courses and beyond! And, boys… any time you want a re-match, you know where to find us!

January 2006 - We're on TV

"A Place in the Sun" - Kate Burnell-Freeman married hubby Martin in the Caribbean and ever since they’ve dreamed of relocating to this glorious part of the world and setting up in business. With some earlier property development success providing an ample budget, Kate brings best mate Jackie Hamblen to the palm-fringed island of Tobago to accompany her on her house hunt. Leading the expedition into the Tobagan property market is presenter Jasmine Harman who tracks down some mouth-watering trophy properties: a duplex with sea views, a gorgeous house with separate rentable apartment and a villa with a 6,000 foot Caribbean garden.

That was the plan, but they also wanted to take a look at our Dive Centre, and have a chat with my wife Lisa.  She's now famous, and I can't get her to work anymore, with people calling or emailing all the time asking about her! Damn, I should have been there that day, instead of diving!  Fred Aidroos, the director, came to learn his PADI Rescue Course, and spend some time with us.  He made extra special mention of the dive shop in the show, for which we are very grateful.  We look forward to seeing him and the team, at some time in the future.
