 I spoke with Captain Darrick about getting my Rescue Diver cert this summer. I am definitely doing it and August/September would be perfect for me too. I know I need to get my CPR training done first.

Darrick - what's your availability?

 If anybody is interested in rescue training Aug.19-20 or Sept. 3-4 please contact me. If those dates aren't good, contact Harold at Scuba Emporium in Orland Park. He always has classes available.

 Looking forward to completing Rescue Diver certification this week.  This is especially valuable training for anyone who dives with a spouse and/or a family member.  Personally, I feel this is an important aspect to good buddy skills, which are too often lacking in recreational divers.
