The largest and most critical in testing the dive master course is to exchange your BCD, fins and mask while underwater breathing apparatus makes use of one. That means that half the time without air.
Today there was finally about 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 him still open and so we went with three of us down with Ed.
I would first like to take the test and Micaiah then Michael. Especially so that we all did. Still a bit exciting we went to practice the "buddy breathe" or sharing a breathing apparatus.
Then slowly things change. To add insult to injury, Ed would make us 'little' problems by loosening straps, full masks to run, etc. It went very well and was particularly stressful for the exercise and not during.
Then Michael and I together, we are really already well accustomed to diving and it was really a 'slate dakkie.
It was Micah's last dive so I have some fun with Micah Michael went with Ed and pulled a circuit or skill demonstration 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 it runs on. Micah is back 
Because it was his last dive we have some crazy things. I dismissed his weight belt, fins, Ed has been stolen and then I have taken his mask. Poor boy, he was disappointed but could quite take it. All in all a great, great diving and useful combination. Freshen up you come back this afternoon and I have nice Fri Two more things to do and then I DM for Michael ... we're just four getting there.
