Billy Mercer
Billy reviewed the events from a recent event at Lake Phoenix. He talked about what could we learn. Most of us dive at Lake Phoenix, do we know where the AED is kept? Where the O2 is? The address should 911 need to be called? How do you contact 911 when at Lake Phoenix? Do you take the time to talk about your safety plan prior to each dive? If not -why not? We all need to be responsible divers. Don’t be surprised if you hear more from Billy in the coming year…
