A Moroccan diver passes his MF1 in Lake Annecy

It is about 18h, when Adil BAHHAR, a member of the diving section of French Friendly Circle of Casablanca (CAFC) arrives at Annecy station shortly after landing at Lyon airport. The capital of Haute-Savoie is known for the charm of its old town, its mountainous landscapes, its gastronomy but also for the divers for its lake and its famous wreck "France". But Adil did not come to do tourism: he is there to get the certificate of federal instructor 1 ° degree on the occasion of the final stage-organized examination of the 13 at 14 September 2014, by the CTR RABA within the Subaquatic Club of Annecy (CSA). The upheaval is total for this casablancais who knows only the clarity and the temperate waters of the Atlantic or the Mediterranean. Indeed, the cold, the visibility and the difference in ballast can suggest some difficulties ofadaptation for our intern. But it is without counting on his will, his motivation and a very serious preparation in connection with his educational internship tutor, with whom he has just spent 10 days on the Skhirat beach near Rabat in Morocco. He thus arrives for a week of internship, in the land of reblochon, where he will have to start his days by designing and presenting to the jury a theoretical pedagogy, then he will have to explain in front of his peers, his vision of a subject of organization and security of our activity. At the end of the meal, we forget the nap. He will have to set up educational workshops linked to the practice and intervene on a diver in difficulty 25 meters in the waters of Lake Annecy. Finally, he will have to demonstrate his in-depth knowledge of regulations. A busy program that he will understand brilliantly. At the end of this intense course and a day and a half of trials, the long-awaited results are revealed to the trainees under a suitable sun. After a few minutes the name of Adil is pronounced by his tutor who gives him his precious diploma bearing the number 24485. This little moment of emotion dedicates the efforts and the hard work of a deserving instructor who has demonstrated that we can adapt to lake conditions, even under examination. It only remains for him to use the knowledge acquired to the greatest benefit of the members of the diving section of the CAFC. He should also contribute to the development of diving in Morocco alongside his compatriots.
