Rescue

Where’s BOB? ‘Found Bob yet’ Barry asked. ‘Nope’ replied Martin ‘Probably hungry by now’ Marnie added

Its 8:40 Sunday morning and BOB had been missing since 4pm Saturday. Everyone was relaxed as we prepared for day 2 of the Rescue course and everyone was just kicking back, discussing the disappearance of BOB before the day began. In truth BOB was a crate wrapped in red wet suite material, anchored by dive weights. BOB had been dropped into Horsea island water for the Rescue trainees to find. Part of the Rescue course, trainees had to conduct an underwater search to reclaim BOB. Sadly with my compass skills it took us 2 days. As I head towards Dive Master, the Rescue course has taught me that I will need to improve my stamina, concentration and leadership skills. Mind you, thanks to repeated rescue simulation, I can now undress any diver either underwater, on the surface or on land in double quick time, something, I will always find essential in the day job, or on the school run or just shopping at Tesco’s ! Joking aside, Rescue improves dive confidence and ensures you know what to do in adverse conditions.
