Sub-Mission staff get put through their paces in Rescue refreshers
0Last night some of the Sub-Mission staff got together to refresh their rescue skills and practice a few scenario’s. Refreshing and practicing rescue skills is a must for any diver and it can’t be emphasized enough how important that this is. It’s important not only for a buddy who may have a problem but for your own confidence at rendering assistance. Would you step forward to help if you completed your PADI Rescue Diver Course 5 years ago and hadn’t done a single rescue skill since? It’s definitely something to consider.
Sub-Mission Dive Staff Refreshing Dive Rescue Techniques
Darren and I wanted to get staff thinking about their rescue techniques and their rescue demonstrations so Sub-Mission Staff were put through their paces starting with dealing with an unconscious diver at the surface. Then we slowed everything down in order to be able to demonstrate this affectively to students.
Due to the changing equipment configurations, emerging trends and new PADI programs such as PADI Rebreather Diver and PADI Sidemount Specialty we also wanted to keep staff up to date with different kit. So we took the opportunity to cover Rebreather rescue and practice rescue on Taffy in his Sidemount equipment.
It was a serious and extremely important topic but we had a good laugh at the same time and hopefully reinforced to the staff the importance of refreshing themselves too. Look out PADI Rescue Diver Students, here come refreshed Instructors!
