Staff Update Day One
Location: West End, Tortola
The Boss Lady is ready and anxiously awaiting the arrival of her 14 shipmates. Meg and Sam have been hard at work the past two days, making sure Boss Lady has everything she needs for the new rescue divers in training. Sam spent the past two days fine-tuning the ship's systems and all of the dive gear, while Meg has provisioned the boat with all of its dry stores and educational materials needed for the rescue course. Today we will receive all of our fresh food in the morning, and continue to put the finishing touches on Boss Lady as we look forward to the arrival of our 14 new crew members. We could not be more excited about our session two rescue program to start, and to bring our new students to the highest level of non-professional diving you can reach!
Here is an introduction to the crew of Boss Lady:
Sam- skipper/dive instructor
