She let me sleep in, and I woke up about 7.30am and continued my outstanding UK work.
In the meantime, Jen was having a baptism of fire. The sea was quite rough, and during the start of the 2nd dive, there was problem with one of the groups. As an instructor descended, one of the students popped up on the surface and started swimming back to the boat. Another instructor on board, saw what he thought was froth coming out of the diver's mouth and shouted to start emergency procedures.Preparing emergency oxygen and phoning the dive school to report a possible diver evacuation is not a common thing... I can't imagine how nervous Jen was feeling.
Eventually, the diver was at the boat, and the realisation that the diver had been sick due to sea sickness was a great relief. Getting the diver aboard was a bit of an effort, but the boat boys helped out and Jen phoned the school back to cancel the emergency...
Returning at midday, Jen started a 3 person Open Water Course. Academics for a few hours, and then we returned home for a long sleep...
Today, she has been in the pool most of the day, with the 3 students, teaching them the basics of Scuba, before they hit the ocean tomorrow.

Sounds like a scary moment especially if its on your watch! I'm sure Jen is more than capable in dealing with such situation. Well done. Bro, sounds like you're busy. Like me, pc's are beginning to roll in after placing an advert in the local newsagent, one in particular is troublesome!
Well done Jenny for coping with a scary situation. Please take care out there. xxxxxxx
