Five New Rescue Divers for Naas SAC
All the dedication & training over the past two months paid dividends for our five Rescue diver candidates on Saturday with all five passing the test. The Dublin South Regional Rescue test was held in the Coal Harbour, Dun Laoghaire on Saturday the 8th August. There were nine candidates in total participating from the region.
The successful Naas Sub-Aqua Club candidates were Bernard Krugar, Joan McElwain, Pascal Michel, Simon Knott & Tom Cruise.
The CFT rescue test consisted of several disciplines including a unconscious diver back lift from 20 meters, EAR while towing a victim 100 meters, recovery into a boat, oral question examination, O2 administration, CPR and AED awareness.
Congratulations to all five candidates & special thanks to all instructors who gave up their time practicing training lift over the past two months with the candidates. Also special thanks to the Naas SAC Examiners, dry cox’n & safety diver who turned out on the day of the test to support.
This is a great boost to the qualifications held by members of the club and hopefully this will lay a good foundation for these five candidates to go on to become Leading Divers and beyond in the not too distant future.
