UKRS Rescue Diver Plus - Course #1

Just a note to bring this historic event to the forefront of everybody's
mind...

Students who have confirmed - Thank you very much! Looking forward to it?

Students who haven't confirmed - What's keeping you? There is a pile of
self-study to be done before the course, email me and I'll let you know what
to do next.

Victims - Thanks for volunteering, I'm sure that all the Students will join
with me in a commitment to at least try not to kill any of you... Tricky,
Dominic and DaveA - can you let me know what kit you are bringing please.
Nigel - Are you bringing the upside-downers as well has the YBOD/YBOL? Any
"victims" that aren't on the list, let me know...

PADI AOW divers who don't know what I'm talking about - it's all here...
http://divesite.calumscott.me.uk/ukrs/rescue_diver_2004 - anything else you
need to know reply here or drop me a line.

And to all the people attending in whatever capacity, remember that many of
the people attending this course will also be attending the Diveshow and
Icebreakers. It is my intention to get these people together socially
before the course at either or both of these events... I'll be at the
diveshow, probably on the Sunday and Icebreakers both days.

You must have guessed by now that Frank will be using
rebreathers in full stealth mode for 'search' and 300bar
twinsets for 'recovery'.

Oh and I have a heart condition so I might not be faking
it.

Rescue is hard work when you move from drills to scenarios
but I still think it is the most fun course in the PADI book.

And you learn a lot. When you finish you know why you did it.

I had thought that might be the case - and with the amount of silt we'll no
doubt be kicking up you no-bubblers are gonna be tricky to find!

I did say that we'll offer a commitment to TRY not to kill you...

Personally I can't wait - its got to be great for confidence. And on top of
that it should be a very sociable affair - after all we are going to be
"saving" some real UKRS hardcore...

Oh aye, I almost forgot. For the students this time round - if you need a
moralle boost during the course just remember that you get to be "victims"
the next time someone organises one of these!

CAS

Well, as a student, I'm thoroughly looking forward to it anyway :)

Humm
What'll I use?

Twins inverted (Nigels rig), Twins Upright (Franks Rig).Both with
harness. Maybe Single 15 or single 10 on a BCD with Dry suit.

I might go as far as a 7mm semi if Frank wants to run the Scenario.
Though that depends on gut feeling on the day.

Well I'm playing victim just to get chance to act up for all the S**T
I got!

I'm already a Rescue diver, And for those who havn't made up their minds
wheter or not to do it. It's great fun and what you learn may well save
someones life later.

Wish I could be there to cheer and jeer, But I'd need an air fare first.

Hmm, well I'm on the rebreather but still have the 12 300's if someone wants
something really nasty to get out of the water....

I think that's why I'm looking forward to it so much - with so many of the
UKRS hardcore coming along to mentor us newbies it is sure to be a hoot as
well as a great learning experience.

Fear not! We have a photographer and a full report on the proceedings will
be posted on the web.

Calm down,

- we'll be as fair and realistic as possible - remember that whoever wears
twin 300bars and 20kg of lead them will have to haul them all back out
again, this isn't a UKRS dive and there is no lift, just some nice bouncy
ladders - bad diving practises will be photographed and displayed on the
web...... just to be fair..... you understand.
