I've just done my Rescue

[lottie]

Well, I finally got there and finished the course - and got certified (insane..someone said!). It wasn`t as bad as I thought it would be...I just got nervous for nothing. We did the four rescue scenarios and had a DM-C as a dummy....oh and the instructor didn't even take the EAP!

I`ve written a bit up on my blog (see link below) if you want to see...as I`m not repeating myself on here.

It was such an exhausting day - we were in the water from 9.30am until 3.30pm (and an hour for lunch)...i was soo tired I went to sleep at 7PM!!!

it was definitely a worthwhile course, it`ll definitely make me think more when I next go diving (monday, in fact) about the other divers in the group.

Didn't we tell you so? Congrats, and it is not just looking at the other diver, you now have the skill to judge yourself as well...

Congratulations

[lottie]

yes, that is true also.....the course makes you a better diver and more aware of whats going on around you as well....

There was this other diver doing a shore dive with a DM and the DM was talking to another staff member and not lookng at the diver. I saw that the diver was just starting to panic just a few seconds before the DM shouted at him to 'inflate your BC', which thankfully he did..and I did ask him if he was okay. But if i hadn't have started this course, i probably wouldn't have looked at this diver in the same way as i did yesterday and just dismissed it.

ok i'm gabbling again
