Glad to hear everyone is ok. I don't know if they require registration for that, but I know that they require a dive plan to be filed and followed for the deep end of the quarry. I dove there many times last summer and know that Mike seemed to run a very tight ship there.
Betail, The same thing happened to us on Sunday, we were walking down to platform #3 and a group was hauling a diver out of the water ... It was only after we started into "reaction" mode that we were told that this was just a drill. I'm glad there was no emergency but there needs to be some way of letting others know before hand...

The registration it is mandatatory for everyone, a dive plan its required for the deep side.

But I don't think Mike requires a specific registration for Stress and Rescue training. Usually though intstructors let others nearby know what they are doing and will use words different from "help" etc.
Glad the divers are doing well.

Not 30 seconds before the emergency vehicles showed up and the 'copter was circling over head I was telling my BOW class the importance of getting DAN insurance..... all 8 now have it.
Stef, were you there this weekend? I didn't see you.

I'm wondering what the trigger point was that prompted the ambulance call?
I heard she was complaing of neck and back pain upon surfacing, and it was decided to be better safe than sorry.
