Hi,

We want to do this about every 3 weeks so we will be thinking about next Friday, 8th March or 11th, it will depend on the availability of the NAC, but in about one week time I think that we will confirm. It costs 153€ and we divide by the number of elements attending.

Did the season ever closed?!?!?! :D

good luck with that mate nobody will give out their spots for scallops, tried it myself.
Can't blame them though as I would do the same..
 
Due to people demand and success with the National Aquatic Centre training sessions, we will organize another event this Friday 01.03.2013 from 20.00 to 22.00.Anyone welcome!
 
You so greedy lad's but all of you didn't get wet for few months , what point to keep the secret of the spots if you do not use them.)))

So when you do eventually get wet ,the spot that may have taken you years to find (weather it be scallops or BASS),has not been raped by somebody that the only work they've done is to look at a internet forum.
Simples !!!

I don't have any scallop spots to give but that is due to me not looking for them.
Have plenty of great Bass spots though;)
 
Aloha lads, jeez you guys fighting already scaring off the newcomers and we havent even started diving yet? Anyone headling to the Dive show tomorrow and Sunday? Some good speakers and stands inc Victor from Underwater Ireland and George Karbus plus me fein so a good bit of input from freediving heads. Drinkies on Sat night.
 
Hi guys,in the following weeks I want to organize a first AID course designed for freedivers and spearos where I want to cover some topics regarding hypothermia,hypoxia and trauma in freedivers/spearos and being able to identify a cardiac arrest from a respiratory arrest.What steps should we take in such an event and also some safety aspects regarding tides,currents and rip currents.The course would consists in two days where we will cover the theory part in the first day and the practical part in the second which would take place in one of our diving spot.They will be no certs issued at the end and the costs would consist in rental of room or hall which we need for the theory part.
If interested please PM.
 
Sure no problem sharing, I'll sway a scallop spot for a decent Bass spott...;)
 
To updated all the participants on the freediving first AID with the content course,here is a topic which I want to cover.If you have anything in mind and you want it debated please post here.
Day one:
1)Anatomy and physiology;
-respiratory system(diafragm,intercostal muscles,mechanism of breathing,recognise inadequate breathing)
-circulatory system(heart,heart rates, physiology of the circulatory system)
-nervous system(central,periferal nervous system)
-digestive system.
After this session you will have a better understanding about the relation of our body and diving ,the influences and changes which take place during the dive.
2)First aid and the environmental emergences.
-loss of body heat
-hypothermya
-hyperthermia
-emergency care for local cold injuries
-Heat cramps.
-Drowning and near drowning
-Spinal injuries in submersion incidents
-Air embolism
-Other water hazards
3)Cpr and major trauma
Safety
Chain of survival
Black outs
Major trauma
Respiratory arrest
Cardiac arrest.
Day two:
-Diver rescue from 5-7 meters deep
-activation of the emergency services
-quick asessement and treatment.
-Swim to the shore with the victim
Cpr practice on land
Debriefing.
During this exercise we going to have a dive supervisor,kayak support if required,and land supervisor.
Any questions, please PM or email at vasilelung@gmail.com
The proposed date is 23-24.03.2013
