NS whitetail Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 I posted about taking a week long course last week --- well, I passed. I am now CPR certified and I learned lots of stuff to do with marine emergencys, learning about cold water shock, hypothermia and all the other good stuff that goes along with marine accidents. It was a great week, we got to shoot off flares, put out fires and on Friday -- we got to jump off of the wharf into the ice cold Atlantic water ( wearing survival suits of course ). I forgot to take my camera with me when we jumped. First time ever in the water for me wearing it -- never felt a bit of cold. --- but here is a pic of me in my survival suit in the shower ( I had to rinse the saltwater off of it ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Re: I passed my course Ahhhh, cold water survival training. I remember those days. Put the wet suit, then the Mustang on and jump in and swim around in 35 degree water. Talk about fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
