| Posted: 24 Dec 2009 08:33 PM PST USS Lagarto in the news again After an article written last year on this blog about Tech and Advanced Wreck diving I'm very happy to see that a documentary named 'Lost and Found, Legacy of USS Lagarto' about the USS Lagarto, a US Navy submarine sunk in the Gulf of Thailand by the Japanese Navy during WWII was rewarded with 3 Emmy Awards. The film picked up the awards for the categories of Historical Documentary, Musical Composition/Arrangement and Writing in the Regional Emmy's for Chicago, Midwest Region. Here's a trailer for the Emmy winning documentary - if you're interested in getting hold of a copy visit the Wisconsin Maritime Museum's webpage about the USS Lagarto. Well done and a big thumbs up to my former PADI Course Director Jamie MacLeod who discovered this wreck with his fellow MV Trident crew.

| Non diving Instructor Specialties completed for December 2009 Posted: 24 Dec 2009 07:39 PM PST Non diving Instructor Specialties completed for December 2009 The last batch of Instructor specialties on Koh Samui for this year are being completed and yesterday the non diving specialties were taken care of. On the menu were the DSAT Gas Blender, the DSAT Gas Blender Instructor and Equipment Specialty courses. Earlier last week we went one day on the boat for the Deep Dive Instructor Specialty at Sail Rock and during the week we completed the Oxygen Provider and Instructor courses.
Craig, on the far right, who completed his IDC and PADI IE in October this year and who is completing his MSDT internship right now, during which he gets the chance to certify 25 PADI divers at various levels under direct supervision of our experienced instructors was teaching the Nitrox and Oxygen Provider courses under my direct supervision to Thomas and Dijana.  Craig is checking the oxygen mask for leaks. Don't try this at home folks! The oxygen box with all the required tools in it in order to supply oxygen to an injured diver, like the various masks, a regulator with adjustable flow rates and a demand valve. After the Instructor Oxygen provider course, Dave, Thomas and Dijana were happy with a day's work and we had good fun, as the pictures of the day show.Soon we'll be wrapping up the dive specialties, so keep your eyes posted here.
