Today my first crew of 2013 arrived. It's a certification crew. I will be team teaching with new instructor David Kirkiner. Sharp guy...he has to be; he was taught by Burt Hubby. The crew is made up of six people; two adult females, three youth females and one youth male. The two adults are not diving. They're going to ride around on the boat and maybe snorkel. Of the youths, one of the girls, may not be diving. She is taking a medication that may disqualify her from diving. Captain Steve is going to talk with the dive doctor tomorrow to see if anything can be done but it doesn't look good.
The crew is somewhat familiar to me. One of the adults was here last year with a certification crew. She had some issues in the pool so she did not finish certification...SCUBA's not for everyone. I don't remember alot about that crew except that they were a fun bunch.
The crew arrived right on time, about 4pm. Check-in was held up while Captain Steve dealt with the medication issue. Once that was settled, for the time being, we met with the photographer and had our picture taken at the Sea Base entrance. Next it was off to the dorms. The crew dropped of their luggage and then we headed to the classroom. We needed to do paperwork and review the upcoming week. We discovered that the students had not filled out their knowledge reviews. This was a problem so they have to make it up on their time.
We finished up in the classroom for the day, went to flags and had dinner.
After dinner we headed to the classroom for the welcome presentation. Divemaster Scott Patton ran through the presentation and got us out of there in about a half hour. After that the crew was on their own, hopefully to go back to their dorms and complete their knowledge reviews.
