  Last dive @ Atlas Park. We had to conclude the day by doing all of our rescue training. This training involved panicked/tired diver- on the surface and in the water. It also included: an over exhaustion diver in the water, and an unconscious one on the surface and in the water. It is ironic that I almost had to be rescued on this dive. The strap that connected my reg to my mouth piece broke. I couldn't understand what was going on, so I decided to head up to the surface. I should have taken my octopus, but I couldn't figure out why my reg wasn't working- since I still had the mouth piece in my mouth. Anyway, lesson learned. Use the octopus.

  Diving from the center of the quarry. I didn't have a mask on, and thought that I could handle the cold. After the first thermocline, I decided to continue with the group. Once we hit 75 feet, you could actually see the second thermocline. As soon as I went under the second thermocline, the cold hit me like a punch in the face. I immediately added some air into my BC and headed for the surface. I followed the group to the wreck, by watching the bubbles on the surface. I then descended at the wreck to meet up with the group. We then had some fun with air bags; lifting the wreck, and some trash on the platform.

  Me, Dad and Jody drove up to Bathurst to finish off our Rescue Diver Training. The site, Atlas Park, is where the military do most of their training. Atlas Park is a big quarry, which is fed by a spring. Me and Dad dove down to the platform and played around on it for a bit. We then swam over to the small wreck. The wreck rested half on the cliff and half off. - Platform - Wreck
