Loads done this weekend

What a weekend. Done loads on the DM course.

Search and Recovery. 

This involved tying knots and lifting an object with weight bags. This also involved giving a briefing on tying a knot and a search pattern. 

I had to use the U shape search pattern and tying the Bow Line knot. 

 

Rescue Scenario

 

For this I had to "rescue" an unresponsive non breathing diver who was face down in the water. 

This brought back memories from the Rescue Course. 

Not the best rescue but it was ok for this part of the course. 

Mapping Project
 

Myself and Jay were tasked with a mapping project at Capernwray. We had to find and then mark the saucer and the pigs with SMB's and then take bearing to and from these points to other fixed objects (like the heli2, plane or Diving Bell)

To be honest it was easier than I thought it would be. The only trouble we had was to find the saucer !!!

Tired Diver Tow

 

On your marks, set .... Go

3 of us DMT's attempted our Tired Diver Tows at Capernwray and it was a good tow!!
I done this in 1:53 plenty of time to score 5 

Only another 10 points to find out of 400m swim. 800m swim, equipment exchange and a 15minute tread water. 

Happy Days!!
