Very busy last few weeks. Took instructor level classes and evaluations on Wreck Diving, Deep Diving, Gas Blending, Adaptive Diving, Self Reliant and Sidemount Diving.
Wreck: basically mapping, penetration and line tying exercises. Line tying is tying path lines inside the wreck for path finding and exiting.
Deep: dive planning, demo skills and nitrogen narcosis experiments. More on that later.
Adaptive: learned to guide and teach diving to the handicapped. Interestingly, they had had dive with our feet tied together and using webbed gloves for control. A paraplegic would have no problem Diving.
Gas Blending: operation of the gas machines and creating different gas mixes for various depths of diving. Very interesting.
Self Reliant: learning to dive solo…extra precautions, redundancy.
Worked hard and stepped up to the challenge, congrats!
