As a member of the
Point Pleasant First Aid Dive Team we get to dive in some really cool places
and places a lot of divers never get to go! We also get to dive a lot! Training
and other missions takes us everywhere. Beach sweeps, recovery’s just to name a
few.
But it’s not all diving. There is first aid
training, driving training, compressor operator training, boat training,
knowing your knots and search patterns and the list goes on. But wait there is
still more! Let’s not forget cleaning all the dive gear, both yours and the
teams and keeping the dive truck loaded and stocked up ready to roll if needed.
The dive bay doesn’t clean its self! We have to do that too! You can never
believe how fast it can become a real mess, sand, dirt, old bottles and dive
gear and wet wetsuits and wet dry suits, all have places to hang or be put
into.
You would think
you’re done but you would be wrong! We’re also members of the first aid squad
too. Someone has to clean the squad building. There is lot’s to do on an old
building. Fixing and painting and cleaning, not everybody is a handyman, but we
do what we can, you can clean or you can answer first aid calls so other can
keep working.
There are many jobs
that need to be done. Answering first aid calls is number one! Fund raising is
also a big job that has to be done, without fund raising the first aid would be
out of business in no time! So everything that we can do to save money we do!
