Qualifications?





The second job I took a few months back with Maritime rescue as a confined space rescue tech. just got a big contract for some high angle work at Pt. Lepreau and out the LNG site. A bunch of us have been taking our level 2 high angle rescue course this week. Here are some pictures of us having some fun hanging on ropes. Bonus points to whoever can tell me the mechanical advatage ratio gained by that rope system I rigged up while it was my turn to run a rescue.
