Your scuba tanks on.
And you just see in front of you because you jump in on the side of the pool, you're looking essentially across perpendicular across the whole pool.
You see all the other guys who are testing.
And the test, pool competency, it basically is two instructors per student.
Coming down and tying knots in your hoses, turning your air off, flipping you around, literally like beating you up underwater.
And each student, we we have the same set of effectively uh emergency procedures to recover your air source.
But they give you progressively harder challenges to overcome, starting at the beginning of the t of the test through 20 minutes.
The test is the procedures they give you, you follow them in the same order every single time.
And if you do that, you will eventually solve your problem, whatever problem they've given you.
But they know some of the problems take longer to fix than others.
By the time you get to them, you you're out of air.
You're hyper, you're totally hypoxic.
You're so it's a test of you're you're basically out of air towards the end of the test.
You've you're barely hanging on, but in that
state of near passing out, can you still follow steps one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, knowing at this point they're not going to fix your problem.
So you're not going to get air.
But you have to systematically showcase that you can do all these procedures.
And then eventually when you're like chicken neck and
When you're a chicken.
You barely breathe.
