I'M A RESCUE DIVER!!!

YEAH!!!!!!!I FINISHED MY RESCUE COURSE.
IT WAS 3 DAYS LONG AND I AM SO GLAD IT IS OVER. IT WAS BY FAR THE HARDEST PHYSICAL WORK I HAVE DONE HERE. THERE WAS ANOTHER GIRL IN MY CLASS AND I HAD THE SAME INSTRUCTOR, ALEX, AND WE HAD A LOT OF FUN. FIRST, WE LEARNED ALL THE DIFFERENT WAYS OF HELPING DIVERS IN ALL SITUATIONS IN SHALLOW WATER. SO EVERY TIME WE WENT OUT INTO THE DEEPER WATER WE HAD DIFFERENT SCENARIOS WE HAD TO DEAL WITH. ON OUR FIRST OPEN WATER SESSION WE GET OUT TO THE DIVE SITE AND CAMERON, THE OTHER INSTRUCTOR, GOES UP TO THE FRONT OF THE BOAT TO TIE UP TO THE BUOY AND "FALLS" OFF. THEN 2 MORE PEOPLE FALL OFF AND WE HAD TO GET THEM BACK TO THE BOAT AND HELP THEM ON.
ON THE NEXT DIVE I HAD ALEX AS MY BUDDY AND BASICALLY THE SECOND HE STEPPED FOOT ON THE BOAT I WAS TO WATCH OVER HIM. SUPPOSEDLY HE HADN'T BEEN DIVING IN 17 YEARS AND DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HE WAS DOING. HIS EQUIPMENT WAS NOT ON CORRECTLY BUT DECIDED TO SIT AT THE FAR END OF THE BOAT SO BEFORE HE WENT IN THE WATER I HAD TO GO OVER TO HIM AND FIX EVERYTHING. MEANWHILE I HAVE ALL MY EQUIPMENT ON AND CAMERON IS BEHIND ME TURNING MY AIR OFF. AS I AM SITTING ON THE EDGE OF THE BOAT, CAMERON SAYS, HEY SARAH DO YOU KNOW HOW TO TURN YOUR AIR ON IN THE WATER? I WAS CONFUSED BUT REALIZED WHAT HE HAD DONE ONCE I DROPPED IN AND HAD TO GET MY BUDDY TO TURN IT ON FOR ME. WE PROCEEDED TO WATCH AND CORRECT EVERYTHING OUR BUDDIES WERE DOING WRONG UNDERWATER, WHICH WAS REALLY FUNNY BECAUSE THEY WERE ACTING RIDICULOUS.
WE ALSO LEARNED THE DIFFERENT WAYS TO CARRY AN UNCONSCIOUS VICTIM UP ON THE BEACH AND ALSO UP THE LADDER ON THE BOAT. OUR LAST DIVE WE HAD TO TOW AN UNCONSCIOUS VICTIM TO THE BOAT FROM MAYBE 150 FT INTO THE CURRENT ON, LUCKY FOR US, A REALLY ROUGH DAY WHILE GIVING RESCUE BREATHS EVERY 5 SECONDS. THEN GET ALL HER EQUIPMENT OFF AND GET HER UP ON THE BOAT. AFTER THIS LAST EXERCISE WE STILL HAD TIME BEFORE THE OTHER DIVERS ON THE BOAT WOULD BE UP, SO ALEX DECIDES TO MAKE US DO IT AGAIN. GOOD TIMES! NEEDLESS TO SAY EVERY MUSCLE IN MY BODY IS SORE AND I EXPECT WILL BE FOR A FEW DAYS.
SO NOW EVERYTIME I DIVE IT WILL BE MY RESPONSIBILITY ALONG WITH ANY DIVEMASTERS OR INSTRUCTORS, TO SAVE SOMEONE IF THEY ARE IN TROUBLE.
AGHHHHHH!!!!!!
