Water Survival

These pics are a little outdated but they give you a good idea of some of the things I did at water survival training. It was a good time. The only time I was a little scared was while blowing up my one-man raft after one of our parasails and something large brushed up against my leg. I froze for a few seconds waiting for the big chomp but it never came. There are a lot of creatures in the big blue that can really put a whoopin' on you. The parasail was probably my favorite. We got up to 600 to 700 feet above the water, chilled out for a while, pulled the releases and sank down to the ocean. People pay good money for that kind of action and I was paid to do it! I love my job. Other fun things we did was get drug behind a boat (nothing new to any water-skiers out there), swam under a parasail without getting tangled and floated for several hours in a one-man raft learning to employ different open-water survival techniques.
