So now that I’m a DMT, you can help out on actual courses with actual instructors. So last week me and some of the troops volunteered ourselves for a Rescue course. The rescuce course is the one before your divemaster where you learn to rescue people – as simple as that
As a DM on this course you get to be a panicked diver, go missing, pass out with DCI and generally act like an eedjit (right up my street)
Here’s me, the troops and the instructor at the end of the last day on our way back to the dock
From left to right : Yankee Ryan, Crowley (instructor), Chelsea, Danny, Me (in one of those uber cool kilt beach towel) and Lauren
Oh, and it’s not all glorious sunshine as it rained almost non-stop for two days at sea.
Personal highlights for me were being ladder carried onto the boat about 40 times and having my testicles crushed, being dropped on my head on a beach. and whilst acting as a responsove panicked diver whilst Chelsea was playing unresponsive diver and just about to be carried onto the boat for CPR me screaming at the top of my voice “GET ME ON THAT BOAT ! DON’T SAVE HER – SHE’S CANADIAN !!!’
All good stuff
Finally, for shits and giggles, we got ‘Crowley’s Beatch’ stencilled on the back of the T-shirts
There’s another rescue course at the end of this month, might sign up for that as well if I think my testicles can stand the pace…
