"I would like to thank to all participants their courage and hope, and to instructors, assistants and qualified volunteers for the big effort done. Their fantastic support with incredible motivation, helped to reach a really successful No Barrier Tour last Oct 27th in Cabrils (Barcelona). It was the second event in Catalonia for this first year, and I think we improved very much and the scope was wider.
Congratulations to Sophie Pixie Adams, David Anderson Cutler and Matjaz Repnik, who have completed their DDI Instructor Training programme at Dawn Diving Training Academy in Qawra, Malta conducted by DDI Instructor Trainer Chris Hazlehurst.
