Dive Master in Training for you land lubbers…
Basically, I’ve finished week one of my Dive Master (DM) course and I spend the next month learning/gaining experience assisting with training courses, running dive boats, doing boat/dive briefings, looking after customers and being a general dogsbody
The first week was fairly tough, my dive skills (you get graded on 20 of them) are getting better and I passed the first two exams. Week two is five more exams and all the final assessments on your dive skills and timed swims (which I really need to work on)
Oh well, off to the pool now to practice my 400m freestyle in the 93 degree blazing sun.
It’s a hard life…

Aye, no bad! Well, it’s drizzly in Ireland and the closest I’ll get to warm water’s if I piss myself.
Comment by Count Rosscovich January 22, 2008 @ 1:13 pmWell done! Saw a couple of dive-confidence alterts go green for you on my bleak Cadogan Square screen over the weekend. What are the steak pies like out there?
Comment by Haagar January 22, 2008 @ 2:25 pmwell they have steak pies here, not so sure if they’re steak more likely ‘generic meat product’
Oh and I did my first dive brief yesterday – basically daft arse here standing in front of 30 people all about to dive a wreck at 30m telling the procedures to make sure they don’t drown themselves
You’ll be pleased to hear they all came back in one piece…
