Cafetalk Tutor's Column

Tutor David 's Column

I did it! :-)

Nov 3, 2018

Yesterday I finally finished and passed all of my practical and written exams, to become certified as a Rescue Diver!

Part of my practical assessment included finding a missing diver at the bottom of the ocean with very poor visibility, bringing an unconscious person back to shore whilst providing rescue breaths and then CPR, administering emergency oxgyen using an O2 kit for different scenarios, and more!

It has been very tiring, and was topped off with some written exams which I was fortunate enough to be able to take outside in the sun, due to the spell of nice weather yesterday. 

When sitting under a pavillion with my examiner, midway through taking my final exam, an elderly Japanese man started talking to us - although realising that I was in the middle of an exam he started apolising profusely and then left.

5 minutes later he came back and bowed, passing me a bag of fresh Okinawan fruit.

What a kind gesture from a wonderful human being :-)

Have a lovely day everyone and remember -

'Live as if you will die tomorrow, but learn as if you will live forever'
