Successful week at JSSADC during our Combined Boats Course. 6 x Boat Handlers, 6 x Marine VHF Marine Radio operators. 7 x Chartwork and Position Fixing and 3 x Diver Coxswains. We also provided SADS development to 3 x RAF Supervisors. Thanks must go to Wozza for taking time from his primary RAF duties to instruct on 3 of the modules this week. We also got some cracking diving in. JEL, Persier, MFV Solstice and drift along Rame Peninsula.
Next week is our final scheduled SADS assessment of the year. However if there is sufficient demand from those unable to attend earlier in the year we could programme an extra one in. Check out our Defence Connect page for details and AATG online booking service for opportunities. Forgot to mention we had Dolphins and the National firework championships too .
