Our new divemaster intern: Fabio

SO, IN BETWEEN DIVES, WE ASKED HIM A FEW QUESTIONS!

What got you into diving?

“I only started diving last year while I was travelling Australia. It happened by pure chance while I was having a haircut in Sydney. The stylist told me she was learning how to dive so I decided to join her in her learning quest. I fell in love with this sport really quickly.”

Have you always enjoyed being in the water?

“Yes, since I was really young I’ve dreamed of being able to breathe underwater, maybe influenced by the film The Mermaid.”

Where’s one the best places you’ve dived?

“The Great Barrier Reef, I spent almost a week on a boat and there I realised that I wanted to make this the passion my life.”

What’s the best thing about being a dive instructor?

“I think that teaching is one of the most rewarding jobs that exist, especially when teaching something that brings people far from their comfort zone, in an environment which is almost unexplored by humans and is full of challenge. Bringing people to love this sport and to know how to respect the underwater environment will be really exciting.”

Gran Canarian Angel Sharks

As we see so many Angel Sharks whilst we dive in the Atlantic Ocean, around the coastline of Gran Canaria, here are a few facts about the amazing creatures we see. The Angelsharks are flat-bodied sharks, very ray-like. They bury themselves in the sand or mud with only the eyes and part of the top of the body exposed. They have a blunt snout and are camouflaged to blend into the sand and rocks of the ocean bed. They have long, wide fins that look like wings, giving it its name. It is also known as the monk shark, sand devil, and monkfish. Angelsharks are frequently caught for food.
