New species for the Canaries - SURGEONFISH! We got a real surprise last week when we came across a Monrovian Surgeonfish in the Arinaga Marine Reserve! This fish is normally only found on the West African Coast, and further south in the Cape Verde Islands. With its bright yellow spot it looks a bit like a Parrotfish, but the head and dorsal fins are very different. According to our friends in the University with warmer conditions here more of these migrants are turning up in the Canaries.

Major Archeological dig in Arinaga around ship's timbers. Earlier this year we reported how some timbers from a wooden sailing ship of the 18th Century had been exposed by the regular movement of the sand following a winter storm. Now the site has been declared of major historical importance by the Cabildo de Gran Canaria, responsible for protecting the island's history, and a major underwater archeological excavation has been started.
We can still dive the site, which is also revealing slowly several more secrets, and observe the state of the excavation. From the way that the copper covers both sides of the exposed wood we have deduced that this is the rear-most part of the keel of the boat. This must be one of the few underwater archeological excavations in Europe that is easy to access and visit. If you want to find out more about the status of the dig then talk to Eduardo or Brian.

Wow! a second PADI Certificate of Excellence! It felt almost like an early Birthday Present, when we were given our second PADI Certificate of Excellence yesterday by Christian Marret, the PADI Regional Manager for the Canaries! The Certificate recognises our innovative work on customer service and on our web pages, as well as the continuous positive feedback to PADI about our customer service and the great experiences we provide. This award was for the Dive Centre, so it is important to recognise that it come from a team effort, with Eduardo, Graham, and during part of last year Uwe all leading and contributing to the high levels of service that have gained us this award - My thanks go out to them all.

Celebrate our tenth anniversary here in September This September, Brian and Marilyn will celebrate the tenth anniversary of taking over the dive centre here in Arinaga. To celebrate we are planning a series of activities - join us for fireworks during the Arinaga Fiesta, a special party in the middle of the month, excursions to other highlights of the island, such as to see the Manta Rays at Sardina del Norte or even the wreck of the Plasencia. We also plan to run special days for PADI Specialities which work well here in the Marine Reserve (Digital photography, Aware shark conservation, Multi-level, Nitrox etc). If you are planning to come diving in the Canaries in September then make sure you follow our plans here and have some fun celebrating our tenth birthday with us.

Nudibrachs proliferate in Marine Reserve May and June have always been the best time for divers to see nudibrachs here in the Marine Reserve, but this year we seem to have an abundance of these beautiful little creatures. A few days ago we thought it unusual to find 3 together, untill the afternoon dive where we found a group of ten all clustered together, and not just the green/black
Hypselodoris picta, but also Leopard seaslugs and the Golden Sponge Snails (
Tylodina perversa).

We hit the million mark! This week, we have passed the Million mark in terms of pageloads on the DavyJonesDiving.com website! We have been tracking our pageloads since about 2004, when we installed the StatCounter software on our website, and this confirms the steady progress we have made to this point. Since 2004 we have changed a lot, and now have pages in German, Dutch, Spanish, Norwegian and Swedish, and have recently optimised all the pages for viewing from a smartphone. I am sure it will take less time to reach the 2 million mark!

Looking for News about Davy Jones the singer and actor? It was sad to hear that Davy Jones, former singer with the Monkees, died in his sleep from a Heart Attack yesterday. The only connection between us and the singer was the common name. We obviously pass our best wishes and condolences on to the family and friends of Davy, and would like to reassure all our friends that all the team here is fit and well.

Winter Storm uncovers exciting discovery A couple of weeks ago there was a strong storm here in Arinaga, which prevented us from diving for a couple of days. When we got back into the water we made an amazing discovery, as in one part of the Marine Reserve,the storm has moved away the sand and exposed what appear to be the remains of an old wooden sailing ship. The timbers that have been exposed are over 6m in length and very heavy, consistent with the external planking used on sailing ships of the 18th aand 19th century. This is hardly a 'wreck' dive, but should be regarded as an archeological site of potential future importance. We will be organising regular dives in the area to determine the extent of the find and to assess, measure and record in more detail. We will be talking to the Island's expert on marine archeology to get more information on likely ships that have been lost in the area.

They are mending the road! Yes, you have all complained about the track to El Cabrón and asked how it damages the vehicles. Well, for the last few days the Cabildo has finally got round to not only filling the surface, but also back-grading it and actually compacting it with a roller. We could here the vibrating roller underwater yesterday!

Eduardo to the Rescue! We never know
what we will find from one day to the next,
and today we came across a small turtle,
trapped in a discarded plastic bag, while
diving in the El Cabrón Marine
Reserve. The Turtle was having difficulty
moving with the bag attached, but fortunately
the bag slowed it down enough and Ed was able
to catch it, remove the plastic bag and set
it free. The Turtle was able to swim away on
its own. The lucky turtle has no doubt had
its life extended by the swift reaction of
Eduardo to the problem, and the lucky divers
saw not only the rare sight of a turtle in
the Reserve but a good example of protecting
and supporting our marine ecosystem.

Hammerhead Sharks near the Reserve One
of our friends from the Windsurf community
told me that this week while surfing 2km up
the coast from Arinaga he saw a Hammerhead
Shark! It was about 2m long, on the surface
with its dorsal fin showing, about 500m out
from the coast. This is not the first report
of offshore Hammerheads we have had, as
windsurfers see them a couple of times each
year. Underwater we are less lucky,
apparently Hammerheads are cautious of divers
and will move away from them before we detect
the sharks. I have only heard one report in 9
years of somebody seeing a Hammerhead well
overhead when they were at Punta de La Sal in
30m. Still, you never know what you might see
in the Marine Reserve!

Crew of the RFA Gold Rover go
a-roving in the Marine Reserve While on a
brief stop-over here in Las Palmas, some of
the crew of the Royal Fleet Auxiliar vessal,
Gold Rover, took time out from their busy
schedule to join us for a days diving in the
Marine Reserve here in Arinaga. Highlights of
the day included watching a Bonito corral and
then attack a shoal of sardines; and finding
3 different stingrays on the second dive - a
Round Ray, a Common ray and an Eagle
Ray.

Newry And Mourne Sub-Aqua Club enjoy
a week's diving with Davy Jones We all
had a great time over the last week with 14
members of the Newry and Mourne Sub-aqua
club. Members went to most of the best sites
on the Island, with some diving in Las Palmas
in the Catedral, the Arona, Frigorifica and
Little Kalais. Others went to Mogan where we
dived on the Cermona II. But favourite for
most was the El Cabrón Marine Reserve
where they dived the arches, the caves, the
bays and the Table Top, seeing a wide range
of Canarian marine life including
Angelsharks, Rays, Cuttlefish, Barracudas,
Octopii and much more. We all had a great
time entertaining them and having some fun
and great dives.

Crazy weather! We can see SNOW today
from in front of the dive centre! Yes, up on
the tops of the mountains the dusting of the
last two days is clearly visible from down
here! It's very rare to get snow at all in
GC, and this is the first time it has been
visible from Arinaga. Strangely, the diving
in the Marine Reserve has been uneffectd ..
the storm has hit the other side of the
Island and we are in the lee.. but with air
temperatures below normal, it is actually
warmer in the sea than in the air! The
forecasters tell us it will all blow over in
the next two days and warmer weather wil
return.

First price rise in 5 years It's now
five years since we last changed our prices
in 2006, and the recent increases in fuel
charges, along with increasing costs of
safety items (such as more frequent testing
of Oxygen bottles) mean that from the 3rd
April we will be applying a small increase in
most prices, of around five euros per day.
However, if you confirm your booking now
before the new prices are introduced, then we
will honour your booking at our current
prices.

Royal Philharmonic entertained by Davy
Jones Diving while in Gran Canaria It's
always nice to entertain other professional
entertainers, so we all enjoyed hosting
members of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
from London when they visited Las Palmas last
week. The Orchestra was in Las Palmas for the
XXVII Festival de Música de Canarias,
and several members took time out from their
busy schedule to spend a day diving with us
in the Marine Reserve in Arinaga. So on
Friday we were able to show them the 'diving
fantastique' in the Marine reserve in
Arinaga, while on Saturday they played
'Symphonie Fantastique' by Berlioz to an
aprechiative audience in the Alfredo Kraus
Auditorium.

Canary Islands Diving - An
alternative to the Red Sea? With the
current unrest in Egypt, we have had several
people asking us how diving compares between
the Red Sea and the Canaries. While the
Canaries are only sub-tropical, the sea
temperatures here in winter are only four or
five degrees less than in the Red Sea, and
the Canary Islands have a stable European
government and a much better developed
tourist infrastructure than in most parts of
the Red Sea. We have put together a new page
which looks at the
comparison between the Red Sea and Canary
Islands for diving holidays to help
explain some of the differences a bit
better.

Christmas Greetings to all our
customers and friends. We would like to
wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy
New Year. This year Brian and Marilyn will be
in England for a couple of weeks before
Christmas, while Uwe, Graham and Ed continue
diving here in Arinaga. And yes we are diving
all through the Holiday period, with some
dates already well booked. The Christmas Tree
is already back in The Marine Reserve, there
are plenty of Angel Sharks and Rays about,
and we almost always find something
unusual.

Dutch Navy enjoys diving in El
Cabrón The beginning of December
is usually a busy time because of a Spanish
long holiday weekend; however this year we
had our hands full looking after the Dutch
Navy. Their ship spent a long weekend in Las
Palmas, and we sorted out all the
arrangements so that they could visit us. We
had two hectic days when more than 40 sailors
from the HNLMS Johan De Witt, a Dutch man of
war, came to Arinaga to enjoy diving in the
Arinaga Marine Reserve with us. We had a wide
mix of skills from absolute beginners up to
experienced Divemasters, and were able to
show many of the divers Angel Sharks, Rays
and a lot more. Everyone seemed to enjoy the
diving, and they told us they had tried
diving in Dakar, but preferred it here as
there was more to see in Gran Canaria.

New apartments available for divers
in Arinaga, Gran Canaria We can now
recommend two more apartments to divers who
want to stay in Arinaga. In addition to the
popular Nautilus Apartments, we can also
recommend the Barracuda and Angelot
self-catering apartments. These are very
close to the dive centre, and can sleep
between 2 and six people. They come fully
equipped and even include Internet Access.
For more information see the details on our
Accommodation page.

... and now Manta Rays in Arinaga! If you
read the old guidebook to the reserve it
talks about the possibility of sighting
Mobulus Rays (a small type of manta ray) in
the El Cabrón Marine Reserve. Till
this year it was simply one of those divers
myths... But then in July one of our reliable
friends claimed he saw a group of three, and
after a couple of other reports, last week
our instructors Uwe and Graham came across
one, followed a couple of days later by
another sighting. Over the next couple of
weeks we want to do some more controlled
dives to try to find out is this a lone
individual or, as we find in the north of the
Island, a family group... watch our sightings
for more updates! oh, and by the way in the
same week a windsufer saw a Hammerhead shark
on the surface in the same area!

Evidence of Sand Tiger Sharks in the
Canaries. For some time, a friend of ours
has been recovering the Teeth from Sand Tiger
Sharks from a secret location near Arinaga.
On a recent dive we also found our first in
the same area. It was confirmed as coming
from a Sand Tiger Shark by some experts from
the Blue Planet Aquarium in Cheshire,
England, who have Sand Tigers in their pool.
Sand Tigers loose about 1.4 teeth per day,
and up to 25000 in a lifetime! New teeth are
continuously growing and replacing
them.
As we have no recorded sightings of Sand
Tigers, it is not clear wether the group of
teeth represent a regular (nocturnal?)
visitor, or some historical activity.

Davy Jones Diving awarded the
'Water Sports Quality Seal' by the
Government of the Canaries. We are
delighted that our hard work in providing a
high quality experience for our customers
has been recognised by the Conseria de
Turismo in the Canary Islands Government
and we have been awarded their seal of
approval in the Water Sports
category.
There are four categories of award, Water
Sports, Wellness, Family and Volcanic (for
other adventure sports), and they have been
awarded to companies like ourselves who
deliver a quality service to customers
through great experiences, and also highlight
or complement the unique nature of the
Canarian lifestyle, culture or nature. You
can find out more about these seals of
approval on the
official website of the department

Mystery disease decimates
long-spined sea urchins For the last year
there has been a government organised
campaign against the black long spined sea
urchins (
Diadema antillarum also known
as lime urchins) to remove them from popular
dive sites including the El Cabrón,
Sardina del Norte and Pasito Blanco. The
reason for the cull is that this species was
not native to the Canaries, and since it's
accidental introduction on the hulls of
wooden ships during the 'conquest' of the
Canaries during the 16th and 17th century, it
has colonised large areas displacing native
species.
Early this year however we began to notice
large numbers of bleached shells in the
Marine Reserve, and after talking to our
friends at the University of Las Palmas, we
now believe that these are being attacked by
some form of virus. Numbers have dropped
sharply in many areas over the last two
months, although it appears that the 'native'
urchin species have not been effected.
It appears in some areas that the native
algaes and plant life rea returning quickly,
so we can only hope that these changes lead
to the revitalisation of the reef here.

We have discovered a new Dive route!
Occaisionally, we explore some of the less
well know parts of the Marine Reserve, and
can often come across unexpected secrets.
Yesterday was a good example .. we dived in a
new area, from a known entry point .. and
discovered a really nice little cave which
you can get right into to explore. This cave
is the only one with a blowhole back to the
surface, which you can swim up into! It is
not very deep, but will only be diveable in
certain weather conditions. So, if you think
you have done all the dives in the Marine
Reserve, we now have something extra to show
you!

Canarias TV2 Features Eduardo and
Davy Jones Diving. For the last few
months Eduardo, our Spanish instructor has
been working with other local groups as part
of a campaign to stop illegal fishing in the
marine reserve in Arinaga. The local TV
station decided to feature the problem, using
Eduardo as the principle spokesman. So today
we hosted a film crew from Canarias 2, the
local TV channel, and helped them to
publicise the issues around illegal fishing,
and the way that the economy is now gaining
more from Diving, by filming a group of our
divers as they prepared for their dive in the
Marine Reserve here in Arinaga

Prices held for another year We know
that many of our customers are being more
cautious in these times of poor exchange
rates and financial crisis, so for the third
year we have held down our prices at the 2007

utility bills, changing insurance providers,
lower fuel prices and other small changes
without effecting customer safety or customer
service.

She finished in a time of 4 hours and twenty

Wow, what a month January has been. This
winter we have had a continuous spell of
great diving here in Arinaga. Day after day
we have posted 'excellent' for the
conditions, caused by a very stable high
pressure system over the Canaries. Over
Christmas this produced some storms on the
West coast, but fortunately Arinaga was
largely uneffected. The water temperatures
are still high at 21C, and I haven't put my
semi-dry on yet!

Angel Sharks return at same time of year.
Just like the last two years, Angel Sharks
started to return to the Marine Reserve in
mid November this year ... but unlike
previous years the water is much warmer. The
research we have been carrying out withe the
University of Las Palmas suggested that they
preferred a temperature of 21C, but this year
temperatures are above average, still just on
22, yet the Angel Sharks have all returned
... looks like we will have to keep on with
this research project!

...and the great conditions
continue...
Yes, diving during November continues the
trend of this autumn with calm conditions,
great visibility and gentle currents. Some
northerly parts of Tenerife were effected by
heavy rain and flooding in the middle of this
week, but Arinaga was totally
uneffected!.
This week seems to have instead been full of
really special dives... The Cape lobster that
jumped onto me on Wednesday; the stingray
that kept investigating us on the Night Dive;
A mother stingray giving (live) birth to baby
stingrays on Friday .... and slightly to the
surprise of all of us, the return of the
adolescent and adult angel sharks this
week.

Free use of dive computers on PADI
Courses. This autumn, PADI have updated
their guidelines and now recommend that all
students on Open Water Courses should use a
dive computer to monitor time and depth. We
have invested in additional computers and now
are the first dive centre in the Canaries
where all students on Scuba Diver, Open
Water, and parts of the PADI Advanced Open
water course will be offered
free use
of these computers. Using a dive computer has
long been regarded as best diving practice,
and with lowering prices and new training
schemes we welcome and fully support this
change. We know that most divers put a dive
computer high on their shopping list, so the
ability to have its function explained fully
to students on their Open Water Course should
help them choose their own computers more
easily.

Another stunning autumn here in El
Cabrón and the good weather continues!
Since late September we have had a really
stable warm air stream which has given us day
after day of excellent conditions. And with
the conditions have come lots of exciting
sightings. Mobulus rays at Sardina, Baby
angelsharks in the bay, seahorses, lots of
rays including family groups, a new type of
nudibrach we have never seen before. Several
divers this week said they enjoyed diving
here more than in the Red Sea! When asked why
they said it was less crowded (No Russians!),
and had more variety of diving sites, and our
style was more chilled out. So if you are
thinking of a late autumn break before
christmas, don´t delay, give us a call
now!

We have just had a stunning week,
weatherwise, with lovely air temperatures,
low winds and great visibility. In one week
we have had so many diving highlights as
well! We saw the (very rare for us) Spiny
Pufferfish on two days, saw a mother Stingray
with six or seven babies around her, Angel
shark swimming, stingrays, and lots more
besides. When conditions are like this we can
come across virtually anything, and to prove
this on a recent night dive we discovered our
first ever Small European Locust Lobster - so
small we had to photograph it and then look
it up in the book! This Spring we seem to
have seen a lot more nudibrachs than normal,
and we have also come across more Sea Hares
during the day then we normally do. Once
again the Marine Reserve keeps it's
reputation of being full of surprises.

We have had a great time over the last
week showing John Liddiard, of Diver magazine
in the UK all of the best dive sites in Gran
Canaria. John is one of the UK's top
underwater photo-journalists, and he
contacted us some time ago about a photo
shoot in Gran Canaria. We were delighted to
organise a visit for him in conjunction with
our contacts in the Canarian Government and
introduce him to not only the best dive sites
but also to some of the other leading dive
centres in Gran Canaria.
We had some great dives during the week,
including the wrecks of both Las Palmas and
the West Coast, and of course a real
exploration of parts of the El Cabrón
Marine Reserve. So keep your eyes on Diver
and this summer we hope to see some exciting
pictures which really showcase the diving in
Gran Canaria.

We were delighted to entertain a group
of divers and snorklers this week from the
Philadelphia Orchestra. They were visiting
Las Palmas as part of their 2009 Tour of
Europe, and played two concerts here in the
Alfredo Krauss Auditorium. During their dives
we were able to find Angel shark, stingray,
tiger moray, barracudas, octopus and much
more. Their tour continues over the next 3
weeks with more concerts in Spain, Portugal,
Luxembourg and Austria.
