I have been a rescue diver for two years now and is considering the DMT course with only 71 logged dives. I am looking for first hand experience. Your blog is very helpful. Looks like I will need to improve my swimming skills. Thanks again 🙂

But I hope one day, if I have time, I will do it. It will help me to be more confident in my divings. I am always a little scared in the first dive and then I start to relax and then I start having fun.

I did that search and recovery dive in my AOW, but as I did with my husband I think he did almost everything, but the knots were done by me (of course I can’t remember).

I would hate to play it out too. But you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do I guess. Well done for passing everything!

You totally should! And I’ll come dive with you, of course 🙂
