Tuesday, November
15,
2016: There was a Discover SCUBA class at the
Minnesota School of Diving.
Certified instructor Lori Mattson explained to three students what being underwater is like and what to do. |
 |
 |
|
The dive shop is full of interesting diving displays.
It is a different world. |
|
 |
 |
|
Foreign exchange student Marmar from Bogotá,
Columbia, decided to try out SCUBA. The diving that night was in a pool at the Brainerd High School. Lori was excited about the possibility of teaching this young person. |
|
 |
 |
|
Each dive computer has a guage to tell how much air is
remaining in the tank. Best to check your the before heading under. |
|
 |
|
"Okay, this is how it is going to go." Lori explained.
"There will be an experienced diver with every student at all times." |
 |
|
Off they went.....down down down to the bottom of
the pool. |
 |
|
It was a bit confusing at first to the students. |
 |
|
What do I do now? |
 |
|
Deep Diver Paula said, "Follow me." Mark
said, "Nice legs, Paula!" |
 |
|
Marmar caught on and was soon swimming like a
fish. |
 |
|
Others did well too. |
 |
|
Soon, there was a crowd of happy divers underwater. |
 |
 |
|
Paula brought her underwater camera and showed
photos while Mark was up top photographing. |
|
 |
|
Then mark was photographed while doing his work. Paula's
underwater camera was half submerged for this shot. Not bad! |
 |
|
In the end, everyone was happy for a successful,
fun, and safe evening. |
Quote of the day:
Paula just loves diving. Mark
