This week was a very exciting one for me because I
finally completed my PADI Divemaster Internship.
On Monday we went to Abades and this time we returned to the second reef which is fast becoming one
of my favourite dive sites. On this particular dive we saw three rays
and a pink dentex, as well as lots of large trumpet fish hiding in the
small cave on the back face of the reef.
Later on in the week I returned
to Abades with Steve and Patrick to complete Steve’s PADI Rescue Diver Course, rescue scenario in
the sea. This involved me going off and hiding somewhere in the reef
whilst Steve had to start at the spot I was last seen and conduct a
search until I was found. After finding me, he had to check for
responsiveness and raise me slowly to the surface. Once at the
surface he had to check for breathing, give two rescue breaths and then
tow me into shore whilst providing breaths. All of this was done calmly
and quickly.
After we got back from Abades we then went to the marina
wall and did the same for Alan who also managed to cope with the rescue
scenario very well and the whole thing ran smoothly.
The next day we
went out diving again and managed to get my 60th dive, which was the
last thing on my Divemaster check list.
Later on the evening we went for
burgers at flash point which was a nice way to relax knowing I have
everything checked off.
