Skills Development Sessions

[Sam]

I am looking at running a number of sessions over the coming year to cover Dive related skills which perhaps are not covered in huge detail via the Sports and Master Diver lectures.

The first session will be on Dive Planning for Club Trips and Expeditions or Personal Dive planning but I would like to organise the following (assuming there is demand for it)

Dive Planning
How to plan your own dive
Ensuring you have enough air for your dive
Air Consumption calculations
Buhlmans tables
Use of Dive Computers
Use of Dive Software planning tools
Multiple dives

Please note that this will not cover decompression diving

Risk Assessments
What is a risk assessment
Why a risk assessment is needed
How do you carry out a risk assessment on a dive site
HSE and the diver

Incident Reports
Informal review of the BSAC incident reports
What can we learn from them


If you are interested in any of the above, or have a suggestion for some other form of skills development course, please let me know

thanks

Sam,

I know I have not been around the club for a wee while, but if anyone is interested (and if you wish), I could run through the dive planning stuff from when I was teching Tech. Nitorx with IANTD. I could also do a deco session for you as well.

sounds fab to me Jock - I was actually going to speak to you for some suggestions.

Although SSAC doesnt 'teach' deco diving, I think this would be a great idea for anyone in the club looking to do longer/deeper dives. Count me in for a start!

Let me know what dates suit you and I will get it organised.
cheers

Let me know what and when you want to do. I will split it up if you want and do a dive planning one for everyone and an advanced & deco one for the deeper (Scapa?) divers.

I'll come down on Monday night and we can have a chat about it and see what people what.
