Scuba Rescue Diver Certification Class

SCUBA Rescue Diver Certification
After finishing our Scuba Emergency First Responder Course, we went on to complete the coveted Rescue Diver Certification. Here are some pics from the practicals we did on the day of our final exam.

Did you all get certified?

Did this take awhile to build up your endurance?

Aren't the girls a little light to be able to handle gear plus a dead-weight body?

Everyone passed their Rescue Diver certification ... with flying colors. Craig and the boys are headed to Grand Cayman to work on their underwater photography and videography certification.

Being in great shape certainly helps when you're doing these types - rescue diver - activities.

While the girls are generally very fit, they also have the advantage of having handled 1200 lbs horses for many years ... and that adds to their finess in being able to wear all the gear and tow dead-weight around. There is, also, the advantage that everyone - including the 'victim' - is wearing gear that makes floating easy, thus easing some of the drag of the dead-weight
