151 Incorporating Weather Into Your Emergency Training Scenarios

By Leave a Comment

In this episode of The Dive Locker Podcast we look at how dive professionals can incorporate weather issues into your emergency training scenarios.

Welcome To The Show!

Welcome to The Dive Locker Podcast, the podcast for dive professionals where we bring you the latest in diving industry resources that make you excellent at teaching techniques, risk management and dive business.

A huge thank you to all of you who wrote and said how much you missed the new episodes. Thank you so much for that!

It’s been a wild summer and into fall here, we went on a couple big trips, launched the Risk Management for Diving Professionals course, took my daughter to college, celebrated the 10 year anniversary of the Nova Southeastern University Academic Diving Program, started a record attendance semester of diving classes, got some League of Extraordinary Divers Podcast episodes in the bank, both my aunt and my father passed away recently, and today there are bands from hurricane Ian hitting my neighborhood with some force. Whew, but it is great to be back and with you again.

So you all know how huge of a fan I am of in-service emergency training for staff right? Well, a few weeks ago we did a new one for our staff, and it turned out to be one of the best in-service emergency training sessions of all times and I want to share it with you today. Whether you adopt this or a variation of it, I think you’ll be amazed at how great this training scenario works out and it’s perfect for rescue classes, divemaster training and in-service staff training.
