Scuba Diving – Rescue Course

Posted on by

This was my first weekend of the rescue diver course, Saturday was a classroom session followed by a pool session on the Sunday.
This was an important course for me as it is one of the pre-requirements of me being able to do my PADI Dive master which is what I require for my stunt register application.
Had a really good day on the Saturday leaning about all the different injuries and hazards when diving and the difference between a victim and a patient. The Sunday practical session in the pool was really good fun and a lot of hard work. the idea of the pool session was to prepare us for the second weekend of training which would involve a lot more practice and then finally a scenario day.

Again a massive THANKS to Denise and Derek at Sussex Scuba.

Rally Driving

This is probably the most exciting skill I want to train for my application onto the stunt register. I wanted to get my training underway on some of my other skills before I started this skill as it is probably one of my strongest areas and one that I am happy to spend many hours at practice.

The overall qualification that is required is an National A Licence. To start the process you first need to apply for your National B licence which requires you getting your “Go Rallying Pack” from http://www.msauk.org, you then need to pass you BARS test and that will get you your B licence. I have just sent off for my pack and I am booking a day for my BARS test asap.

Once you have got your National B licence you need to complete 6 rallys to get the 6 signatures you require to upgrade to a National A licence.

So a long journey but one i am really pleased to have started.

At the weekend I attended a one day course to be able to pass my EFR course.

This coure is the pre-req for me to be able to start my PADI rescue diver course that I am booked on later this year. The succesuly completion of this course should I hope allow me to start my internship to train towards my PADI Master qualification.

Had a great day learning all about the AB-CABS the cycle of care, from Derek who is a great instructor at Sussex Scuba. Spent the afternoon doing some scenarios, which allowed me to practice some of my acting skills, and then finally the exam.

Good news was that I managed to sucessfully pass the course and know getting ready for this weekend and my PADI Advanced diving course.
