Stress and Rescue: Pool

Well I just wrapped up my SSI Stress and Rescue pool session. When I started to take this class I had no idea what exactly would be asked for the pool and open waters, so I figured I would post about it here. So here is what was done during the pool session:

  • Underwater mask removal, must keep mask off for 60 seconds. 
  • Disassembling and reassembling a scuba rig underwater
  • Rescuing a unconcious diver from bottom to safety
  • Rescuing a concious diver
  • Rescuing a diver who appears to be conscious then fights underwater
  • Rescuing a diver who fights at surface 
So that was pretty interesting, having a dive instructor freaking out underwater is quite un-nerving.
