I am working at a job as a safety diver for a safety training company and I’m looking into doing more certifications for my recreational diving. I don’t have as much time to go rec diving as much as I did before to get my required number of logged dives before starting those courses but 5 days a week I’m breathing on a bottle and getting my fins wet. I am diving in a 10 foot pool and actually do have to use skills such as maintaining good buoyancy each session and finding my reg if I get to close to a students leg and they kick it out of my mouth or reacting to one of them panicking so I have to pull them out of the trainer and get them to the side. I do three sessions a day each session is roughly 30 min long but is broken by short surface intervals to let the trainer operator know I’m clear of the trainer so they can reset it. Would I be able to log these sessions as a dive and have it count towards the required number of prerequisite dives before a training course, it seems to be a shame to spend all this time blowing bubbles and have it not count towards that.
