Emergency Assistance Plan - Format?

[Ber Rabbit]

Thanks Baitedstorm I kept it simple for the OW students since they make them before their check-out dives and one of the dive sites we use has a hospital that doesn't readily show up on the search engines, talk about a PITA. Most of them end up doing the assignment twice before they get the right hospital and a map from the quarry to that hospital. The easiest way to get a map is to find your dive site on a USGS topo map then find the closest hospital sign, copy the part you need and highlight the route.

I got really lucky, my dive site is right next to the hospital, within a few miles. I usually only show the underwater map to the students, and not all the time. I thought it might lessen some of the stress of what "might" be done there. I definetly like things more simple, for my own sake. I'd like to include your format to my own personal dive log if you don't mind.

Cheers,
Vickie
