What a great class we had this past weekend.  Great job in finishing Part 1!

We had a busy weekend at Dutch Springs with Open Water, Advanced, Night, and Rescue Diver classes taking place!

What an awesome weekend we had at Dutch Springs!  Congratulations to the 8 new Open Water Divers, 3 new Rescue Divers, 1 Advanced Open Water Diver, and a new Divemaster.

Our rescue divers were hard at work last weekend in the pool and the classroom under the watchful eye of instructor Mike Frost. Here, they practice working together as a team before trying out their new skills at Dutch Springs this coming weekend. The PADI Rescue Diver course is a great opportunity to improve your diving skills by learning to prevent and manage problems in the water, becoming more confident in your skills, and knowing that you can help others if needed. We'll be offering this course again in August.

Effective rescues depend on good team work. Here, our Rescue Divers practice working together: administering CPR, preparing an AED and administering oxygen. Instructor Mike Frost observes and evaluates student progress with these skills.

All set up to practice oxygen administration and CPR!

PADI Rescue Divers are also trained in first aid and CPR. Here, Mike demonstrates rescue breaths.
