Yesterday was another beautiful day in Ft. Lauderdale. I started off by finishing up my last two tests and passed with flying colors... STUDY, STUDY, STUDY... then there were more lectures and discussions. Lunch then to the "Pool" and Confined Water presentations. First was my favorite, Scuba Unit Remove and Replace Underwater. Score 4.8 out of 5. The second was CESA (controlled emergency swimming ascent). Score 4.6... Uh, it is really a good idea not to forget to tell the divers what the signs are for the skill before you descend... uh, duh. the score would have been in the high fours otherwise. Remember that I said in an earlier blog that you need to use the materials provided by PADI to present briefings, well I did... and just skipped the signals, lesson learned.
On to rescue scenario practice. This is one of the most commonly difficult tasks to perform. Not because it is hard, but because there are so many tasks to perform and many decisions to make. I am grateful for all of the practice that I was able to do by assisting with classes and those incredibly fun staff dives while a Divemaster and Assistant instructor... Muscle Memory... Practice!
Ok, today is more lecture and then if the weather cooperates we will head out to the Atlantic to do, uh more skills, and some more fun.
Blog ya later
