jetty, pulau dayangwent for light breakfast after the earlier dive, didn’t have much appetite and wasn’t sure if i can keep it down for the next dive.
had a briefing and demo on the rescue of unconscious diver drill at the shed. then we practised there for a while… tried very hard to remember all the steps for the drill.
the 2 key points according to kay yaw are:
1. do not endanger yourself in the rescue.
2. bring the diver to the surface.
for this drill, we did another training dive at the jetty. while waiting for kl and ky to start first, me & doris had to bob up and down with the waves while waiting on the surface. not a good situation for me to be in. also we need to swim over when they surface to help kay yaw with the weight belts.
i “rescued” doris first. everything went smoothly for the entire drill. the tough part was the simulation of towing the victim back to the jetty with no air in my bc. had to fin like mad… till i was breathless and my thighs nearly had a cramp.
after that, doris had a go at it. considering my size and hers, i think she did an admirably good job of “rescuing” me. bravo!
and when it was done, i puked again! :P
kay yaw decided to end the dive since kl said that he’s having a headache and we proceeded to do a beach exit. removed our equipment and took a break before lunch.
we decided to sit out the next dive.
