With all due respect Lulubelle, even if you do your rescue training at the coast (and there is nothing wrong with that) I doubt you are going to do your work out in the mighty ocean. Most likely it will be a sand quarry in Bettie (read mud hole) or Radio Island. Why would you waste travel time and lodging for that when there are so many good training opportunities in the triangle for the same training? If you are hell bent on it, when you dive Tortuga this summer I will throw a cushion off into the current on the SI and let you rescue it for practice.
