According to NAUI, and with all appropriate bribes having been paid, it appears that I am now able to call myself a Rescue Diver.

Hooyah - :P

CONGRATULATIONS!!

I am sure your instructor told you that new Rescue grads also must buy all of their friends drinks.

Twinklez can split the bill with you at the next D/FW HH.

See you both then!

I'm headed out to co-instruct a Rescue course today! We have one of our newer Divemasters and one of our Divemaster Candidates assisting. I cannot stress enough to you soon-to-be professionals and professionals, that actively assisting with classes, especially Rescue Classes is some of the best con-ed you can do for yourselves. Keep your skills sharp! You have the opportunity to do so, so take it!

Also, I am not sure about other shops, but once a student has taken a class with me, they are more than welcome to participate in that class again when it is offered.

Today I plan on adding lift bag use and deployment into the class - I think that could be very useful in Rescue.
It's Winter time - you know you're a diver when you're scraping ice off your windshield INSIDE your vehicle...!
