Stress test

22. Congratulations, the latest DM Impian

The largest and was critical test of the dive master course is to exchange your vest, fins and mask while underwater from a breathing device uses. That means you half the time without air.

Today there was finally some time to do something for our course. Micah leaves tomorrow on the island and had the stress test do to the course to complete. Michael and I had it also still open and so we went with three of us together with Ed down.

First I would take the test with Micah and then Michael. In particular, so that we all did. Yet a little more exciting we went to practice the "buddy breathen ', or sharing a breathing apparatus.

Then slowly things change. To add insult to Ed would ensure that we "little" problems by loosening straps, full masks to run etc. It went super well and the stress was mainly for the exercise and not during.

Then Michael and I together, we are really already well accustomed to diving and this was really a 'slate dakkie.

It was Micah's last dive so I have some fun with Micah extracted and Michael went with Ed another circuit or demonstration of skill exercises. Also a requirement for DM's what he had not yet completed.
Micah's tank was empty and he went upstairs. I stayed and took some pictures.

Suddenly I feel that someone in my tank and rides. Micah is back :) Because it was his last dive we did some crazy things. I dismissed his weight belt, fins Ed has been stolen and then I have taken his mask. Poor boy, he regretted a lot but it can have. All in all a fun, great and useful dive combined. Refreshes you come over this afternoon and I have nice Fri Two more things to do and then I DM for Michael's only four ... we're getting there.
