Eric. S Enriched Air Diver
UWE and Ocean Quest had a request to complete a short notice PADI Enriched Air Course course on Saturday. So, when I returned from the SMD and the Divemaster training I started up an PADI Enriched Air Course for Eric from Winnipeg. Go figure, Winterpig lol what can I say!! So, Eric started off watching the video, and I got the various training aids together.
As one can imagine we need some Enriched Air cylinders so you can do the analysis of the contents. Once the video was completed we started working on the Knowledge Reviews, and since I like doing everything by hand, I made sure Eric knew and understood how to use the various formula’s to do a second check of everything your dive computer maybe wanting to tell, but I to be sure my computers is correct so I do all the checks manually as well just to ensure safety. Mine to be exact!
Eric had no problems completing all the skills that were expected so it was off to the 25 question quiz, which he had no problems. Well done Eric, thanks for selecting Ocean Quest to complete your training needs!!

Greg and Roger Feb's Dive Master Students
UWE and Ocean Quest Dive Centre has started the first PADI Divemaster course of 2012 here at the dive center. We have two students Greg and Roger who have come and joined us for their training, both students have signed up to do their instructor ratings as well, so there certainly is a lot of work ahead of them.
Classes are running at a hectic pace with Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. Both students are working hard and doing a fabulous job on their training. With the first exam session quickly approaching, both Greg and Roger have been working hard at learning all the Regulations that apply to the position while learning how to be an assistant in the Open Water training role, and how to become Dive Leaders.
This Saturday past Roger and Greg worked as the Dive Leaders on our Saturday Drop in Dive (SMD). They were tasked to give the dive briefings, as well as lead the dives where they faced various realistic problems with the divers they were responsible to lead. Both DMT’s did a fabulous job, with all be some minor problems that were pointed out and fixed for the next dive.

Danny doing CPR PADI EFR Training
UWE and Ocean Quest Dive Centre would like to say congratulation to Amy and Danny for completing their PADI EFR course. We met at Ocean Quest Dive Centre at 6pm on the 8th of Feb, and started the PADI EFR training course. The diver version takes around 4 – 5 hours to complete so there was no time fool around.
We started off with Scene Assessment and Primary Assessment techniques and from there we proceeded into Rescue Breathing, CPR and Choking. Both students quickly learned that it would not be a lot of fun to do any of those procedures for real as it takes a lot of you both physically as well as emotionally. However, they did a great job and sure worked hard to complete this section properly.
From there we went into covering severe bleeding, splinting, slings and Secondary Assessment. Overall both students did a great job!! Well done!!
