congrats on completing the WFA course. You might end up being our first student to become Overland Certified. Nice job.

Wow, I just noticed this thread! So this is what Graham was mentioning while we were at Devils Tower.
All the fun stuff has to be so far away... bummer. It looks like a fantastic new endeavor. Good luck with it!

What would constitute an equivalent to the WFA? How about PADI Rescue Diver Certification?

Which requires Emergency First Response courses.

A few more images:

Looks like a great time. Maybe if a few of the students could hop on here and give us a review? Likes and dislikes...? This will help others decide which courses are worth attending (all of them I'm sure 
) and which ones could use a little fine tuning.

Nice photos! Everyone's dressed so....professionally! I suppose I will have to go buy a vented safari shirt before I attend my class
Question: What was the scenario or lesson objective where Scott was doing the spotting down that little decent? I had assumed (perhaps incorrectly?) that spotting or guiding was going to be taught to the course attendees. Prior to seeing the photos, I envisioned the student doing the spotting, with the instructor standing next to the student providing input.
I am not being critical, just curious. I figure that that photos are showing a different scenario or objective being demonstrated at that time.
Seeing this image here makes that EarthRoemer extremely attractive to me!

Awesome photos Jorge!
Nathan, actually we all spotted different rigs through various obstacles. I spotted Scott coming down that obstacle in the white EarthRoamer. And we had many opportunities to spot each other. That last obstacle was pretty darned tricky! Each rig had to be spotted down a different line due to clearance issues.
This is a superb course, with lots of hands on training and field work.
And yes, you will have to wear a vented safari shirt :costumed-smiley-007 helps keep the sun off the shoulders, and keeps you warm on the cooler mornings.
