Summary:
Awesome - nice, warm school trip that our pupils (essex) loved and is more like a holiday than a trip for the teachers. The return in April 2012 is already booked!!
Tour Operator:
321dive
Can't fault them. You must use 321dive if you're planning a school dive trip. The person in charge is an ex- teacher and all risk assessments, letter templates etc are all provided. Even the assembly is catered. Honestly made my life soooo much easier.
Venue:
Canary island Divers
Great team, made everyone welcome. Very safe and fun instructors. Clearly experienced in school trips via 321dive. After the frist day when us as accompnaying teachers discreetly 'hanged around' whilst our pupils were being taught we realised we weren't necessary and needed. We also delivered some Biology in the evenings. And the Dive Club had a great pool we had access to the whole time. Cheap food.
Accommodation:
Bitacora Apartments
Great pool.Simple, clean apartments with kitchen areas,. We had 'come dine with me' evenings for the group. Brill!!
Transport:
321dive
as below. Brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble. Had answers come back to me over the weekend, always the same day too.
Benefit:
We did Biology Unit 3 (ecology) and it worked well alongside the pupils getting tehir PADI Open Water and Advanced.
Plus points:
Unbelievable trip - honestly best trip I've been on as a teacher. Booked next year's trip within 1 month of geting back.
Minus points:
None.
