Sandusky City Fire Department, Rescue Class

I recently had the chance to spend three days with a great group of guys from the Sandusky City Fire Department as they were working on their Rescue Diver PADI certifications. After a full day in the classroom, we met up at White Star Quarry for two additional days of training.  All six of the firefighters did a great job and are soon to be receiving their c-cards!  Thanks, guys!

Not only were we able to have some fun, but the dedication of these firefighters really came through when they were asked to roll play serious scenarios in potential dive situations.  Thanks to Carla, Bob, Barb, and Vince for assisting with the class!  I know that the citizens & visitors of the City of Sandusky are in good hands.

Open Water Student...finally

Well, it took a good bit of time.  First there was the studying of the course.  Next,  we had the reviews and tests.  Then came the unexpected delays of spring track, work, medical delays, and family schedules.  But FINALLY in the late summer, David completed his course as an open water scuba diver.  I hope that he will continue his quest in diving & that we can buddy up for some scuba diving in the near future!
