The First Aid practical exam was straight forward but involved a lot of questions (luckily I revised last night). After blowing into the doll and performing chest compressions, I was asked about secondary assessment and head trauma. The questions then focused on heart attacks and trauma. Although it was not a 100% perfect exam, it was good enough for a pass.
During the first dive one of us left the bell and headed down to 60 feet after which a loss of comms was announced. After no response from one pull on the umbilical, the tender had to deploy the man-lift, open the Wet Bell bail-out and flush the canopy. Following this the tender had to leave and bring the diver back to the bell.
Our second dive was nearly the same but involved a loss of gas and comms during which the diver returned to the bell after four pulls.
