True but I'm not the first I believe my work has sent 3 other non-divers to do the course. The course is actually massive overkill for the inspection work we do but gone are the days where we are allowed to stick a couple of BSAC trained divers into the murky harbour water as the original dive team was before the HSE regs came into effect
Anyway good few months before I have to worry about that.
Having done my open water and really enjoyed it, even if it was in a bitterly cold quarry with a leaky suit,

next stage will be AOW.
