Some people ask me many times.. what is that Public Safety Diving.

Public Safety Divers are human, believe it or not – just like the rest of us. They come in various sizes and shapes and speak with as many accents and languages as there are lakes and rivers.

Public Safety Divers are found everywhere; in large cities, rural communities and at most departmental budget meetings. The best way to get one is pick up the telephone.

Public Safety Divers deliver lectures, diving equipment and bad news. They’re expected to have the wisdom of King Solomon, the abilities of Superman and the generosity of Santa Claus.

In the movies, Public Safety Divers are easy to spot. You see them hanging from helicopters and cliffs over some treacherous waterfall or rescue scene. In real life, they’re found hanging around near a telephone – even on Sundays, ?cause that’s when it usually rings … just after company has arrived and the barbecue has been lit.

Public Safety Divers are a lot of things. When they make a rescue, they’re heroes. when they complete a body recovery, they’re too late! When they’re paid for their work, they’re doing it for the money … anybody can see that! and when they’re volunteers, they’re crazy ?cause what person in their right mind would volunteer to do a job like that anyway?

Public Safety Divers see more sunrises, sunsets, lakes, rivers, swamps, cesspools and misery than anyone else. Like the mailman, they must be out in all kinds of weather. Their rubber suits change color and materials with the seasons, but their outlook on life remains the same … trying our best and hoping for the day we can make a difference.

Public Safety Divers like hot coffee on cold missions. They also like friendship, laughter and a hearty handshake. They dislike liquor in boats, children without personal flotation devices and drunks that drive their cars into the water.

Public Safety Divers get medals for saving lives, recovering children from icy waters and diving in hazardous conditions. Sometimes their widow gets the medal.

But, after all the sunrises and sunsets, the lakes and the cesspools, the training and the 4:00 a.m. call-outs, once in a while the most rewarding moment comes when the mission is over and out of the crowd a stranger walks up, embraces the Diver and whispers a heart-felt God bless you, and thank you, you have helped.

Stefan (15) redde met reanimatie het leven van zijn schoolgenootje: ‘Ik zat echt vol adrenaline’ 28/11/2020

Just a example why we do need to learn our children provide CPR.

Stefan (15) redde met reanimatie het leven van zijn schoolgenootje: ‘Ik zat echt vol adrenaline’ Als een ware held reanimeerde de 15-jarige Stefan zijn schoolgenootje toen zij in de klas een hartstilstand kreeg. Om hem te bedanken voor zijn levensreddende actie, werd de tiener donderdag verrast op zijn school in Rotterdam. ,,Ik zat echt vol adrenaline.’’

Great job guys !!

Het RCC kreeg gisteren in de namiddag een melding van twee duikers die vermist werden. De kapitein van de boot die met hun mee was gevaren sloeg alarm toen de twee niet op het afgesproken tijdstip naar de boot terugkeerden. De duikers waren in de omgeving van Arashi gaan duiken, waar een vliegtuig wrak op de zeebodem ligt. Na de melding heeft de Kustwacht verschillende vliegende en varende eenheden, waaronder twee Metal Sharks, de helikopter en het Dash vliegtuig, ingezet om de duikers te zoeken. Ook de helikopter van het Korps Politie Aruba was ter plekke. Rond 21:00u kwam het goede nieuws binnen bij het RCC, de twee duikers waren terecht. Ze waren allebei ongedeerd en voelden zich goed. De twee duikers waren op eigen kracht aan land gekomen in de buurt van de lighthouse.

PADI FULL FACE MASK DIVER SPECIALTY COURSE

$269.00

The philosophy of this course is to focus on enjoying full face mask diving by learning accepted safety practices, potential hazards, problems, techniques and skills in a controlled, supervised environment. To achieve this, there are several goals: First is to develop the diver’s knowledge of the full face mask, its features and benefits, correct fit and adjustment, correct installation of the regulator (if applicable), as well as care and maintenance. The second goal is to develop the diver’s mastery of the full face mask diving skills. The third goal is to enable the diver to plan, organize and use a full face mask as trained.

The best way to learn how to dive in a full face mask is by doing it. This course philosophy, therefore, emphasizes diving in a full face mask. The student apply the knowledge they gain through your instruction in a confined water session, followed by two open water dives.

Vanmiddag kwam bij het Rescue and Coordination Center van de Kustwacht een melding binnen via het Korps Politie Curaçao dat een jongeman bij Noordkant in het water was gevallen. De jongeman en zijn vriend waren schelpdieren aan het zoeken toen hij van de rotsen gleed en in de woeste zee terecht kwam. Het RCC heeft direct de AW helikopter naar de locatie gedirigeerd om assistentie te geven. Bij aankomst nam de bemanning het levenloze lichaam van de persoon waar in zee. De kustwachthelikopter heeft het levenloze lichaam uit het water gehesen en aan land gebracht. Het lichaam is vervolgens aan het KPC overgedragen voor verder onderzoek.
De Kustwacht wenst de nabestaanden van de overledene sterkte met het verlies van hun dierbare.
