DM Traing Update
Training is moving slowly due to the arrival of new interns. So I have had to train them on office and dock procedures since management is stretched thin to non-existent. But I did ace my Physics, Physiology, and Decompression Theory portions of the Divemaster test. The two remaining portions will be tested after DEMA next week.
Yesterday, I lead my first divers as a guide out of Islamorada. All went very well. I did not have to go up to do a boat check on either dive. Some credit does go to the captain for selecting two wonderful sites that were very easy to navigate.
Starting next week I am suppose to help train the new interns on being first mate and then dive after they hook up to the mooring balls or drop anchor. At least I will get in some dives. I can't wait. I started this internship to dive and it seems I haven't done much diving since I arrived. But I have been getting training. I arrived with OW and I am now on my way to DM only 5 days shy of the 2 month mark.
I hope to post some underwater pictures by next week.
