CLASSROOM ENVIRONMENT (Please Initial Each Item)
A classroom large enough to comfortably accommodate the class being hosted that is well lit and
has adequate air-conditioning/heat. The classroom should have the ability to be darkened with blinds,
curtains, or lighting controls to allow viewing of projected images.
A table with chairs for each 2-3 students is the preferred option. This allows for adequate room
for students to spread out their class materials. A table should be set up at the front of the classroom for
instructor materials. Desks are an acceptable option for students if tables are not available.
A dry erase board with markers, cleaner, and eraser located at the front of the classroom is ideal.
A chalkboard with chalk and eraser is an acceptable option.
Aprojector attached to a computer for exhibiting PowerPoint presentations. Dive Rescue International
Corporate Instructors may bring their own computer to attach to the projector, or they may bring a USB
drive containing the information to use with your agency's equipment.
A large projection screen in the front of the classroom. A white classroom wall can be an excellent
substitute for a projection screen. If using a classroom wall, choose an area approximately 5-6' wide and
4-5' in height.
A television and DVD player with appropriate connecting cord should be available. Large classes
may require multiple televisions or screens. If using multiple televisions, an adequate number/lengths of
connecting cables and a video splitter will be required. Elevated stands for the television(s) should be
available. An extension cord should be provided for the television. The television and DVD should be
tested prior to the instructor's arrival and placed in the front of the classroom.
OPEN-WATER SELECTION
Class II-III white water without strainers or other surface obstructions is recommended. The river bottom
should be clear of obstructions. A stretch of river approximately .5 to 1.5 miles long without down river
hazards is needed. A water depth of 5 feet at mid-river is desirable. The river should be between 75-
200 feet wide. Large diameter trees (12-20") are needed on both sides of the river within 20-30 feet of
the river's edge. These trees are used as anchors for high-line systems. If no trees are available, other
structures such as steel structural supports, bridge abutments or other solid anchors may be suitable. If no
such natural or man-made anchors exist, access for vehicles to park on at least one side of the river will
be needed. The shoreline on both sides should not be overgrown with brush. This will allow access to the
water by back-up safety personnel and for boat launching.
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
Essential Considerations
• Facilities to clean, dry, and store equipment
Recommended Considerations
• Refreshments - i.e. coffee, juice, donuts, fruit, or muffins during class and practical sessions
