I’m a Rescue Diver!

I got my rescue diver certification this weekend.  Whoa, that was exhausting.  Lake Chatfield is cold and dark and murky.  What a nasty place to dive.  Dragging “victims” into shore all day was physically challenging, especially when they are big men and I’m a tiny woman.  But, I must say, I rocked it.  Saturday night I went home, ate dinner and went straight to bed.  Almost the same thing today.  It must be a popular place to practice rescue as Little Fire was there today and both days rescue dogs were practicing.  Today there were rescue Newfoundlands.  What beautiful dogs – made me really miss my Saint Bernard, Kuma.  It was almost comical at times to look out across the water at all the pretend victims splashing around.

I did my Emergency First Responder class tonight.  It’s similar to the Red Cross First Aid and CPR classes.  I have to take that before I can do the Rescue Diver course.

Now off to a weekend in Grand County with Mike and Lisa!  I’m looking forward to mountain biking and hanging out with them.  I’m also looking forward to spending some time with Colorado Mother Nature as I will miss the Colorado mountains when I leave.

I might want to work as a divemaster.  Maybe, I should be ready for that.  I did a little research.  You have to have your advanced certification, then you can get your rescue diver certification and then divemaster.  Well, I have the advanced certification so today I signed up for my rescue diver certification.  It will be too much to do the divemaster certification here, but this should set me up for it.  Plus, it’s not a bad skill set to have!
