Diary of a Divemaster-in-Training - Day 28

Posted on Thu, 9th June 2005 at 10:36 under DM Training

Another day mostly off. I went into the shop and did some basic maintenance on the regulators.

Last night was strange. Jeffrey invited me out for a few beers but when I got back to the lodge I had a short think and realised that, in a few days, I’ll be a real divemaster. Oh shit - I’d better get prepared to deal with an entire day’s diving. So out came the notepad and I started to write. After a while it became clear to me that I do understand what my role is but that in order to perform it well I need control. I have arranged for that to happen within the next few days - it’ll be my show. Eek!
