Dive Accident Mgmnt/Decompression Illness

As I mentioned in the last blog earlier this month our club prides itself on our emphasis on safety. Yes we joke about somewhat with our Coprolite Award, but the dive training we teach, and the additional training we offer our members in Advanced Open Water, Nitox, Search &Rescue, CPR, O2 for Dive Related Accidents & First Aid all attest to keeping ourselves and our dive buddies safe. Take this month's quiz to test your knowledge on what to do when things do go bad and we know they can. Thx for being and staying safe! r2

So You Think You Are A Safe Diver! Try the Quiz

http://www.diversalertnetwork.org/quiz/safe_diver

One thing our Club is noted for is our emphasis on safety and being safe divers. We have already seen this year that even a well-trained, well equipped diver can have troubles that unfortunately can lead to serious injury or even worse...loss of life. Try this month's quiz and see what you learn about how safe you feel you are.

I would also like to personally thank our illustrious club poet who so kindly included some nifty safety limericks in the recent Triton's Call. They were right on the mark as reminders of some of the perils and pitfalls that can occur as we enjoy the world under the surface. Cheers til next month. I am hoping to report that there were no divers lost to the "bug hunt" at the end of the month.
