Physical nature of DMT
Gentlemen,
I'm a dive qualified 18d who will be having reconstructive ACL surgery next week. There is a DMT slot I'm considering in Key West in mid July. That leaves me with about 3 months of rehab. Doc says I'm looking at 4-6 months until I'm completely back up and running at my old level. He says at 3 months jogging in a straight line should be no problem for the average recoveree. Due to deployment schedule, this would be the only course date available until next summer. Plus we are running a pre-scuba / strong swimmer course out here shortly after, where being DMT qualified is definitely a plus.
So here's the question for those of you who have been through DMT recently. How physical is the course? I understand there will most likely be a PT test... but I am curious as to the day to day physical activites / PT / swims that are required to graduate. Of course I'll have to dig up my contacts from Key West and ask from the Cadre side as well. I just wanted to get a feel from the student side to see if I should fight for this slot, or rather play it safe and let it slide until next year. I wish I could wait until I was closer to the timeframe and had a better grasp on my capabilities, but we know how school slots work around here. Thanks,
Greg
