I'm a lurker on this forum, having travelled over from YD, but need your advice so I have had to emerge from the seaweed, as it were ...
OH and I are fairly new divers (80+ dives, AOW) - UK and Red Sea, and I get a bit anxious about stuff. Following an incident, in which I accidentally tried to kill myself in the Red Sea last year, we thought it would probably be a good idea to do Rescue diver.
I would appreciate your advice on which would be the best option for us to take.
Do first aid course for either option, and:
Option 1: Start off in pool in next couple of weeks, spread over several Sundays - to learn skills - and then repeat skills in sea just after Easter.
Option 2: Do everything in the sea, over one weekend (or at most 2 consecutive Sundays) after Easter.
Comments/suggestions welcome
