North West Air Ambulance

Seems odd to take him upto a higher alitude:s

They're not flying very high, so really it wouldn't have much of an effect. In any case, it'd be far outweighed by the reduced time taken to reach hospital or a decompression chamber, which is far more important.

Resize it next time

Oh and its based in Bolton =]

Haha i know
decomp chambers are mint, my dad is down in them for like 5 days at a time sometimes.

I was diving at Capernwray today and saw the chopper - didn't know it was someone with DCI.

Apparently the base is only about 5 mins away.

. You dive too?! Who with adn what qualification do you have?

When I was on the motorway a couple of weeks ago, the Great North Air Ambulance landed on it 'cause of an accident. These two T5's came speeding past and slowed everyone down and then stopped, and then the helicopter came down. Never took a picture, but this is it..

It was funny because the farmer who owns the field came over and was like "wth is this helicopter doing here?"

Dude "/. You should've gone with BSAC. Much more indepth and courses take longer. Advacned open water isnt even a BSAC ocean diver [lowest qualificaion] on the crossover tables.

Don't know anything about the differences but PADI seems to be the most popular/well known and it's what my dive centre did. I know i'm not very advanced yet but i've only been doing it 6 months. I'm looking to do Advanced Open Water and then hopefully Rescue.

Still, BSAC is the largest in the world.

PADI is more holiday divers whilst BSAC is more professional stuff
