quick question. there is not big enough swimming pool in PG as far as I know. you guys do 400m swimming and 15miniutes floating in open water?

 

[Ben_ca]

uhmmmm... there's a lot of water on the other side of the beach

Why do you need a pool?

confined water exercises are done in the pool... so the student swim from one end of the pool to the other and back (and forth and back).

"confined water" as defined by the training manual basically means water whose depth is that that the instructor has total control (or much greater control) over any situation that may arise (i'm paraphrasing here)

basically you can have "confined water" exercises in the beach where it is shallow and there are no currents or waves are not high - basically like a pool

the opposite is "open water" w/c, as you've already discovered, is not a situation where an instructor has control and where you wouldn't exactly want to try your first reg removal/ retrieval exercise

i was referring to how it is practiced in PG... what the other shops without a pool do is rent the use of the pools of other resorts.

how i came to know about this is because i have been hanging with Big Apple Dive Resort too much i might as well have worked there!
