PADI Divemaster Day 1
One pre-requisite of entering training as a technical DM is to be a sports DM so I’ve signed up to do the PADI divemaster course - I’m sure Frank only wants me to do it so all and sundry get to laugh at me in a snorkel ;o)
So, as the swimming pool used by Wittering Divers is out of action due to a chemical imbalance, I found myself in the classroom all day.
Tim, the other DM candidate is a nice guy although as the majority of his diving has been warm water, recreational, single tank we could not be more different.
As a PADI Course Director, with 10,000 plus dives, from various sites round the world, Jan was able to illustrate the theory with experience which helps explain why things are taught the way they are. There will clearly be clashes with this course and my normal diving and I wil have to see how best to work things through.
I sat the physics and physiology exams and passed them. Two down.. loads to go!
