Rescues
The course is a balance between classroom theory and on the water practical. So the kit that you bring with you needs to reflect this. Also a note book, pens and a camera is essential. We try to be outside as much as possible throughout this course even when doing theory.
The practical side of the course is very much based around plan do review, and observe and try. So every one will get multiple goes at teaching throughout the course and get chances to observe and critique everyone else’s sessions.
