Instructing when everything is brilliant is quite good fun and somewhat rewarding. However, it's when things are going wrong that you're actually earning you're money - metaphorically speaking. Today was one of those days.
Myself and the Barrman had a trainee each and were attempting 20m assisted ascents, with the two trainees. We had been down for a few minutes before we started the "ascent". I watched for a few minutes as they made no progress. Both Barrman and I had been about to call cut when the attempt naturally split and one trainee headed for the surface and another slumped into a vast cloud silt.
We had agreed which trainee we'd each go and help. I headed into the zero visibility silt found her and guided her back to clear water.
The second dive I took the less experienced person in for a potter about twin piers and found a couple of nice nudies.
I wasn't a totally wasted day.
