Buoyancy and Self Rescue Clinics

Too cold to go out diving? Yea, right!!!!! Got in the pool today with 5 brave souls for the buoyancy clinic and self rescue skills class.

For those of you who haven't heard of this before, every other month, we put on a free clinic to help people with their weight and trim, hovering skills and breath control. We bring lot of weights (lot of different amounts and types) as well as swim through hoops and toys.

It is amazing how a few minor adjustments can make your buoyancy smooth out, which reduces air consumption and makes diving really easy.

The second part was practicing some of those great self rescue skills from open water class that people probably haven't practiced since open water class :-). Cramp removal, oral inflation, weight dump, alternate air are all great skills to practice and can solve minor problems before they become major issues.

Remember the golden rule of diving, STOP, BREATH, THINK and ACT. Solve those small problems before them compound into larger ones.

We will run both clinics again in the next two months, or if there is a lot of interest, we'll run them sooner. Let me know if you would like to get in the pool. Greg
