You work all weekend and don't even get wet!

Like the post title says. The pool is closed for repairs so on Saturday I took the equipment specialty where I picked up some sound tips and got the chance to ask a few questions that I'd been saving up. This was followed by a session on the diving environment. This was a bit of an odd assortment covering boats, navigation, waves, currents and dive safety; fortunately nothing much that you wouldn't have picked up from experience and doing the rescue course and a few specialties.

7.30 am Sunday saw us wrapped in our warmest clothes queuing to get into Vobster. I'd "volunteered" for safety cover so my job included checking students and monitoring the dive. Apart from contracting 3rd degree frostbite -2 deg C on the surface and not much more apparently in the water, a pretty straightforward task. Tim and I had intended doing more measurements for the map task but after he'd done two dives to complete his DSMB spec neither of us fancied a dive so that scuppered that one - still I didn't need to wash any kit when I got back - club night tonight at the Lamb at Weare so what with one thing and another an odd weekend dominated by diving but not actually doing any!
