Confined water training....finally over...

Finally kau tim d....all the Open Water Diver (OWD) confined water skills....all 20 of them, done. Took 2 weekends to practise all of them.....1st weekend quite chaotic...did not do very well also. Finally on yesterdays training...everything seems much much much more better d....most skills performed with average 4 out of 5 points. Happy to know that my fellow buddy did very well too.

Summary of training (doin, learning, teaching):

1- Half mask
Easy to do, easy to learn, easy to teach.

2- Reg recovery
Easy to do, easy to learn, easy to teach..if student din panic :p

3- Mask removal
Easy to do, a little complicated to learn, extremely difficult to teach if student panic :(

4- Free flow reg
Easy to do, student might not understand what u r doin, easy to teach...provided student understand :p

5- AAS
Not very easy to do, easy to learn, quite complicated to teach if student do too fast.

6- Remove weight underwater
Easy to do...can be very hilarious too..hehehehe, easy to learn, not easy to teach also...and can also be hilarious.

and the 3 most interesting activity....

7- Fin pivot
Easy to do, not easy to learn the proper way, not easy to teach...students might wonder what the hell u r doin :p

8- SCUBA removal underwater
Not easy to do properly, not easy to learn the proper way, suprisingly quite easy to teach :)

9- CESA (Control Emergency Swimming Ascent)
Easy to do, can be complicated, easy to teach if do slowly

and the most funny wan....

10- BCD removal n donnin on water surface
Easy to do...but definitely hilarious, not complicated to learn...all u have to do is wear the darn BCD on water surface, errr....can be easy to teach geh.

So basically that's all lor. Still got many other skills...but these are the main ones. Some of them can really be very very hilarious when performed wrongly...kekekeke. No wonder sometimes the air usage is so high...coz laughing non stop underwater :p


Btw...as professional divemaster in training....we should not laugh at the students eventhough it is damm bloody funny sometimes...ahem....professionalism charisma must be maintained :p
