the Scuba bug that is.
Last Thursday I went to Johnson State College and conducted my first Discover Scuba program at their fitness facility, SHAPE. There were 4 participants all freshman or sophomores from Vermont, New Hampshire, and Connecticut. Taking their first breaths underwater was an exciting experience and once we got over that we got to the good part. Swimming around and having fun. The toypedo was probably the best toy, but the laminated pictures of the fish and the turtles made the snow outside seem just a little further away. The water temp was around 80 and by the end we were all cold. Wetsuits are a must for next time. But through the chattering teeth there were huge smiles. We are working to set up another session this month and hopefully a full Open Water Diver course some time soon.
Thanks to my dad. What a trusty assistant and thanks for getting the word out at JSC.
Keep diving!
