I don't know how far your laziness extends AirAssisted, but just in case it is even further than mine (unusual and impressive if so!) the phone no for the Bull is 01539 620264

<font color='#000080'>Bren matey,

Please count me in for this please Mr Tierney. Also I guess Josie might like to do this. Will confirm when she's back. Jules have you booked the Hotel yet? I ask as the Adv Nitrox course I attended in Feb went very well when I booked Poppy Barn just outside kendal. It worked out at 30 quid for 10 sharing for three nights. I know this will only be two nights but its a great gaff and we could all then socialise together as we'd be in the same place. I could organise this again if you liked?

That sounds like a good idea Dave, that way I have to do even less! I will check on the updates, just let us know the details ie payment etc if we run with it.

Cheers

<font color='#000080'>Looks like a splendid idea but I need to check if I can take leave and notice is a bit on the short side.

Pencil me in Bren - I'll let you know by Monday.

[Mr T.]

OK goodly YD'ers, here's the skinny.

After this weekend's splendidly successful TDI Advanced Nitrox course in the Lakes and at the Cape, HelenM, Jules and Phil Ennis cooked up a cunning plan to run a 'I'm under water, it's hit the fan, what skills do I need to extract myself from the brown stuff?' weekend.

Projected Rescue &amp; Safety Skills to be Covered:

* Complete regulator failiure and how to address this
* Controlled Buoyant Lift - of unconscious diver from depth
* Rescue Scenarios - e.g. search drills
* O2 Provider


Course Make-up:

* A day in the training suite at Dales Divers combined with
* A full day in the water learning and drilling the skills.

MINIMUM DIVER CERT FOR THIS GIG: Either PADI Advanced Diver or BSAC Sports Diver or other equivalent.

Envisaged a maximum of 12 divers for the course - this allows for a ratio of 1:4 instructor to candidate.

Course (Day One) to be held at Dales Divers training facility at:

Dales Divers
Bramhaw
Sedbergh
Cumbria
LA10 5HP

Day Two (in water) to be held at Wastwater in the Lake District (if you've never experienced 30 metre viz in the UK, now's your opportunity!! I jest you not.)

Cost is £45.00 per diver which covers both days instruction, air and resources from Dales Divers (instructors, CPR Dummies, O2 etc.) NB: This is a Dales Divers 'Brush up Your Skills' weekend and is NOT a certifiable course - it is open to ALL diver training agencies and schools. It's a good idea for those who are maybe just getting back into diving now the season is upon us and for those attending some of the dive trips currently on the YD Dive Trip calendar.

If it is found that this 'course' becomes over-suscribed, then we shall be happy to run another one very shortly after this one, so please don't worry if you can't get on this one, as we envisage that they will become regular events.

** NB: We aim to get there Friday night, so we might partake of some comestibles and a sherry or two - the social side of the weekend begins here!

Right then, let's be having your names:

<font color='#000080'>AARRRHHH !!! I've just seeen the dates for this and it clashes with a trip to the Isles of May in the forth. I read through your post and couldn't see any dates. I didn't think of looking at the title!! How silly do i feel now. Well not that much as I've had a couple of beers with Mr Yates in the Windsor. Anyhow. Very sorry to have wasted any of your time. I'll see when the next one is.

Dave (read the fxcking dates) Crampers.
