Live scenarios

 

On the final day of the course you will be given two real life scenarios. Your final accreditation will depend on your sucess on this day. Good luck!

 

1. UNDERWATER SEARCH- In this scenario a diver has gone missing from a group of divers. You must show and enact the leadership skills to organize the search and rescue.

 

2. EGRESS AND MANAGEMENT- An unconscious diver has disappeared from the surface... from this point anything can happen. This is where is gets real interesting as you must adapt your rescue plan to the rapidly changing conditions. This is a serious scenario that is demanding and very rewarding once you have achieved a successful conclusion.

LOL...THAT seems like a bunch to me...I start the course tomorrow so we'll see how it goes.

 

 

 

 

 

LOL I have a couple of new friends..the owners granddaugher "Sky" and her cat "Princess alleia" Sky talks me up forever as soon as she sees me and Princess Alleia runs in my damn apartment every time i open the door or accompanies me around the grouds when im outside on the dock

 

YES finally after two days of the hardware shop being closed, I got my bike.

Sky

 

Getting back and forth just got alot easier...i'll sell it when I leave and already have a couple people telling me to let them know when i want to sell....doubt i'll even get half of what it cost but its all good!

 

to close Day 3...when im home and bitching about my weight everyone says i'm crazy but twice now in 3 days I have been called a pretty big guy....now....since im not 6'5" i can only translate that into meaning Fattamus Assamus...oh well..i can already tell that I'm losing weight! (I suspect its mostly water weight at this point blah)

 

My landlord Lupe and her Monkey..LOL

 

I know this probably looks horrible but it was the best Banana cake ever.... Fresh and hot from Babali... Oldest dock restaurant in Utila...floor feels like it may fall in and there is a huge square cut out in the middle so you can throw your scraps to the waiting fish.

Getting ready to shower and grab a bite to eat and then hit Treetanic.
