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 & 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.
Right then, let's be having your names:
YD 'Skills-n-Drills' Weekend:
* 01 Helen 'Speak Up!' Mutter
* 02 Julia 'Tiggie Winkles' Clark
* 03 Bren Tierney
* 04 Rick 'Frogman' Huggins
* 05
Troop Gig Total = 4
