Decompression Procedures Coaching
The end of three days of coaching resulted in a good long dive at Vobster Quay. People criticise using inland quarries for diving, however in my personal experience I believe that using an inland quarry for diver training is a great facility, allowing for controlled development in usually a controlled environment. I do train inContinue reading “Decompression Procedures Coaching”
Diving with a Stage
The second day at Vobster Quay has been a good one. We started with the introduction of a decompression stage to enable the diver to accelerate their decompression penalty by using a richer oxygen mix, which in turn helps expel the Nitrogen from the body. The dive went a bit Pete-tong as stress and pressureContinue reading “Diving with a Stage”
Twinset Coaching
Today I’ve been back at Vobster Quay diving centre running a twinset coaching course. The aim of the course is to introduce an existing twinset diver to the skills and drills of shutdowns and isolation. It’s something that I find a lot when a diver wants to develop their diving, carry more gas and stayContinue reading “Twinset Coaching”
Accelerated decompression procedures course day 2
We’ve just wrapped up our second day diving on our BSAC accelerated decompression procedures course at vobster quay. It’s gone very well. This morning we did a deco dive led by one of the students, there were some navigational issues as we passed the helicopter twice, but we overcame that and it was good. FocusedContinue reading “Accelerated decompression procedures course day 2”
Accelerated decompression procedures course day1
Today was the first day of a decompression course that I’m running at Vobster Quay inland dive site. The weather was miserable but we were getting wet anyway so that didn’t bother us. We started the day talking through cylinder setup, analysing, labelling, deployment and re-stowing it. This was a good session where if weContinue reading “Accelerated decompression procedures course day1”
Buoyancy and Trim Workshop
Today I’ve been back at Vobster Quay inland dive centre teaching a Buoyancy and trim workshop for BSAC. The aim of the course is to help develop divers and help them achieve their best buoyancy and understand the reasons why their buoyancy may not be the best. This can be due to overweighting, finning whenContinue reading “Buoyancy and Trim Workshop”
Diving West Wales
We’ve just finished four days of great diving off Scavenger in Milford Haven. The weather has been interesting and certainly not the best, but we’ve made the most of it and everyone on board has enjoyed themselves and achieved what they wanted from the trip. Yesterday we headed out to the Highland Home wreck whichContinue reading “Diving West Wales”
Diving in the Skomer Marine Conservation Zone
Today started off looking pants! The forecast was force 4, the swell was upto 3mtrs around St Ann’s Head, but not breaking, so we thought we’d give it a look. It was a lumpy trip out to Skomer especially around St Ann’s, and also into Jack Sound, but overall it wasn’t too bad a tripContinue reading “Diving in the Skomer Marine Conservation Zone”
West Wales Diving!
The last few days have been pretty manic finishing off a load of stuff on Scavenger Dive Boat, however the collective effort paid off and by the end of the day on Friday we were done. It was all hands literally on deck to get there, Laura, Andy, Ed and Joshua pulled together as aContinue reading “West Wales Diving!”
BSAC Decompression Procedures Done.
An early start had us assembled at Vobster ready to start our briefing by 820am. Kit check, safety briefing and everyone assembled by the water ready for our safety checks. That done and off we went. Always start a new day with a slight refresher on new skills, which we did without issues. Interestingly, inContinue reading “BSAC Decompression Procedures Done.”
