Rescue Diver Class

The weather held out for us this past weekend and helped make our Rescue class a success. Friday night and Saturday morning was the Emergency First Responder course. We practiced the new guidelines of 30 chest compressions to 2 rescue breaths and got to try out the AED. Saturday afternoon was spent in the Holiday Inn pool practicing rescue techniques that would be put to use in the open water. Sunday was sunny and 75 degrees which is unheard of this late in October. The wind was a bit strong making the in water rescues a challenge with the waves and current.
Joe T., Rob and I took turns being victims that needed rescuing, while Steve, Joe G. and Kari worked hard to save us. Check out some pictures of the students in action below!

It felt like diving in a washing machine, but above water it was a beautiful fall day.
Now the students just have to take the final exam and they will be official.
Check back for congratulatory notes!

Let's go diving!!
