Want to get your PADI Rescue Diver Fees paid back? You can with Divecrew. Join the Divecrew Rescue Diver Team and assist as a Safety Diver at Human Race events: Open Water Swimming Events and Triathlons in Dorney Lake, Marlow and the River Thames. Of if you fancy something completely different how about a Safety Diver at Tough Mudder events. Working these events is fun and you are helping in the community. Tough Mudder Winchester attracted 20,000 competitors. Dorney Lake Open Water swims often have 4,000 swimmers. Not only are you helping keep competitors safe, you get paid too. £40 for swim events. £150 for Tough Mudder. That’s how you get your Rescue Course fees back.
If you are interested just become a Rescue Diver. The chances of being called into action are rare. However, if we are needed, you are dropped into a maximum depth of 4 metres of water. Your job, find the body recover it to the surface hand it to the surface life guards and the medic team. Job done.
Tough Mudder and for that matter the River Thames can be challenging with viz. Tough Mudder we work on the obstacle called Walk the Plank. Contestants scale the 4metre platform then drop into a dug pool of 4 metre deep water. Needless to say after a few hundred muddy contestants Viz is zero. At the end of the day we do a finger tip search of the bottom of the pool to double check no body. After 8,000 to 10,000 contestants, after a metre there is no light. You need to be comfortable with these conditions. The last Tough Mudder I did, there were 20,000 contestants, we recovered 31 GoPro cameras, one Sony head cam and an iPhone 5. We return all the found cameras and phones to the organisers for repatriation with their owners.
If you want to know more about these volunteer events, contact Martin at the Dive Centre. 2015 events will be scheduled in the new year and once again we will be looking for volunteers for the swim events, triathlons and Tough Mudder.
