9th March 2012

Jenny, vastly improving started back with an Open Water Course of 5 people... The 1st day she found very tiring but was doing well.

In the meantime, I completed a 1 person Advanced and then straight in to a 6 person Rescue Course.  This course required me, an MSDT (new instructor getting experience), 4 DMT's (Divemaster Trainees) and the 6 students. A whopping big group..

I pushed them hard as I want people who do this very tiring 3 day course, to really get value and confidence to be able to perhaps help in a real life scenario.




They all bonded together and worked as a team.. 4 of the 6 students are heading to the DMT program and its good to make some friends to share your experiences.

That evening, in celebration... they all went out and got absolutely hammered (I didn't go!).. The guy in the 2nd picture carrying someone up a ladder, decided it would be a good idea to ride his bike home when by all accounts he couldn't even walk.. He ended up being found in the middle of the road with a broken leg and other less serious injuries. He has been shipped to Samui for an operation and will probably go home. What an idiot! Lesson learnt I hope...

Anyway, Jen is finishing tomorrow, but only with 3 out of the 5.. Two of her students needed a day off for medical reasons... so I am taking them tomorrow afternoon.. Day off soon please... :-)

Sounds like lots of people are going to hospital....as long as you two don't! Maybe it's time you had a break from diving and chill for a day or two?
