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.
