Don't go dragging me into this. That sounds awful.

Don’t tell me you have a beef with the burger joint…..

I haven't ever been to Blimpy Burger, I'm not opposed to checking it out.

They’re teaching to give rescue breaths while towing some one? That seems like a bad idea…

That seems to be part of the course, last I looked.

The best place to do your rescue training is somewhere with calm water. try learning to give rescue breaths in a swell. no bueno.

Good thing dive accidents only happen where there is no swell...

 

[BoundForElsewhere]

Practice in swells but learn in calm. Duh.

I'd rather learn in the conditions that I dive in most frequently, which for me meant taking Rescue in Puget Sound in a drysuit and shore diving with typical wave action since that represents 80-90% of my diving.

Hop on a cheap flight to LA, then take the ferry over to Two Harbors in Catalina. They run an intense week long rescue course and expose you to a working hyperbaric chamber. Plus, you get to learn rescue diving from two of the best in the sport. The cost is cheap compared to going to florida or other options. You don't even need to rent a car here.
