Week 8, Day 41

Today the day started off well as I found out I passed the Surface Supplied Top-up examination which means I only have two more examinations to go (besides the dive assessments). One of our dive assessments today was a surface standby rescue using scuba equipment and a buoy. After swimming down to 15m, one diver returned to surface while one gave an emergency signal pulling on the buoy under water. In this case the surface diver had to swim out to the buoy and follow the line down to the diver upon which you secured the diver and give the emergency signal on your lifeline (4 pulls and 2 bells). Then the tenders pulled both divers to the surface. It was a good day and we managed to catch up on our dives. Only one more week to go!
