12jaehriger in 1 Jahr vom Nichttaucher zum MSD
Ich habe eben diesen Bericht hier gefunden und wollte ihn mal zur Diskussion stellen.
Ich uebersetze nicht das ganze Ding, moechte nur ein paar wichtige Punkte hervorheben fuer die, die des englischen nicht so sehr maechtig sind:
Ein 12jaehriger Brite avanciert binnen 12 Monaten zum Master Scuba Diver. Er hat 5 Specialties absolviert, darunter Trockentauchen.
Er sei auch qualifiziert, erste Hilfe zu leisten (im Rahmen des Medic First Aid Kurses).
Aus dem Berich geht hervor, dass er jetzt erst 18 werden muss, bevor seine Tauchkarriere weitergeht. Daraus schliesse ich, dass er nichtden Junior MSD erworben hat, sondern den fuer Erwachsene.
Seine max. erlaubte Tauchtiefe sei 21m.
Ich will hier jetzt keine PADI-Hasser Diskussion lostreten. Bitte lasst uns sachlich bleiben. Aber kann man von einem Kind in dem Alter verlangen, dass es ein Verantwortungsvoller Tauchpartner ist?
Wie hat der Knabe denn die Bergeuebung gemacht? Mit einem anderen Kind als Opfer? Laut Artikel war die Rescue Diver Pruefung ja ziemlich hart.
Wie kann man ein Kind in diesem Alter derart tief tauchen lassen?
Wie kann man von einem 12jaehrigen erwarten, dass er eine HLW beherrscht? Es fehlt doch allein schon an koerperlicher Kraft.
Ich versteh das wirklich nicht, warum man diesem Extrem-Kindertauchen nicht langsam mal einen Riegel vorschiebt.
Ich warte auf den Tag, an dem in den USA Padi verklagt wird, weil irgendwas mit einem solchen Kind passiert ist
In Hoffnung auf eine sachliche Diskussion, hier der Originalbericht:
A 12-year-old from Plymouth has qualified as the youngest master scuba diver in the South West.
And the achievement of James Douglas, from Mannamead, is even more remarkable as the youngster only started diving 12 months ago.
The St Boniface College pupil`s achievements have been matched by his parents, Lee and Ellen Douglas, who also started only a year ago and have both qualified as master divers.
Enthusiasts aged under 18 can learn to dive as juniors from the age of 10. James will now have to wait until he is an adult before he can try for more qualifications to dive to greater depths.
James carried out his training with Barbican-based dive centre Aquanauts, and owner Brian Allen said he was extremely keen and dedicated.
"What is very impressive is that he has gone from nothing to this in just a year," he said.
"To get to master diver he first did his junior open water course, then his junior advanced and then his rescue diver course. As a junior he is qualified to dive to a maximum depth of 21 metres.
"He has also done five specialities such as underwater photography and dry suit diving.
"He is also first aid qualified. He has achieved a lot - the rescue diver course is a hard programme and the exam is extremely tough.
"He cannot go any higher than he is at the moment until he is 18 years old."
Mr Allen said that to gain so many qualifications so quickly was quite unusual and James had a strong interest in all aspects of the disicpline.
"It is very unusual to do so much so quickly. He`s just very dedicated to diving," he said.
"As a pupil he is just very interested in everything to do with the sport.
"He is very keen and whenever we have gone out he has always managed to keep everyone on the dive boat entertained."
James`s dad Lee, who works as a roofer, said that he was very proud of his son and that he was desperate to give the sport a go after seeing it on television.
"I am very proud. He got the bug to go diving before he even tried it after seeing it on the television," he said.
"He would love to go on now and do it professionally. He would like to get his own dive school.
"Myself and my wife started at the same time and we were out diving again this weekend and we dive every couple of weeks together.
"It really helps bring us all close together. I used to watch him play rugby but now we can all go out together and participate."

), mit dem ich durchaus seinem Alter angemessene Tauchgänge mache. Man muss sich nur immer vor Augen halten: Wenn was passiert, ist der Erwachsene "dran"!
