Hay all!
Just a quick entry to let you know how my divemaster course is going! Had a brilliant last few days and have been packing in loads!
I have a few more exam's to do, a rescue course to assist on and then I can take down my own groups of divers..yipee!
One thing which I have to get done though is the dreaded STRESS TEST. This is where you share air with another diver as your's has run out! At the same time you have to take off all your equipment from head to toe and swap it with theirs...This sounds easy so far hay........ At the same time another menacing diver then proceeds to take off/knock off your mask so you can’t see and then basically fiddles with all your equipment! They turn your air supply off, make your regulator free flow, mess with your BCD, take off your weight belt, undo various valves/ pull various strings and generally cause alot of stress to you! The idea is to sort your way through all these problems while trying to get your mask back on and successfully swap all equipment with the other diver....... while sharing only one air supply (which may have been turned off or be free flowing!!!)....Will let you know how it all goes!!!!!
Today I was teaching a scuba review course which was great fun! It recaps with divers the skills they need to know if they haven’t dived in a while! Tomorrow I'm doing a skills circuit where I have to teach the OW, Advanced and rescue skills to another group of divers...
