Anyway back to the course, this was done with Maidstone Scuba, the course is broken down into 3 segments, the first being a classroom based which as usuall was done in the corperate headquarters better known has the kitchen in John's house, beware of the dog also as it has a tendancy to want to shag your leg from time to time. I was glad I'd watched the PADi Rescue Diver DVD and also a glance at the course book and completed the reviews. Well the classroom part was rushed and then onto the exam , then marked all passed.
The second part was set in the pool where we would go through all the scenarios, which included saving a tired diver, paniced diver, onto the three different types of diver tow's. The next part was to get the diver from the bottom of the pool, we then practiced a search pattern. It was then onto how to get the diver out of the water and also how to de-kit them.
The final part was at Wraysbury where we would be given some scenario's and had to complete them, my first was the paniced diver, however the second was the missing diver, we had to go down onto a container which was the last place they was seen and then find them, both Steve and myself descended we got down to the container at around 8m we then found our missing divers playing naughts and crosses I ended up with Tracy and Steve got Ray. I started to find her Inflator hose and then slowly brought her to the surface and then towed her to the slipway which was around 50m. We had to dekit her and then lift her out which was easy as she's only small.
That was really all there was to the Rescue course and I passed as a Rescue diver
