Friday, February 2, 2018:
The Brainerd School of Diving
held a "Discover SCUBA" night. Instructor Kelli Mankowski gave classroom instruction to a group of about a dozen people. Kelli is owner of Party World so she is a busy lady, but never too busy to miss an opportunity to talk diving. |
 |
|
Students lined up their equipment along the edge of a swimming pool at the
Brainerd High School. |
 |
 |
|
Then it was time to get the equipment on and adjusted. |
 |
|
Red haired Deep Diver Paula
was one of the helpers that night. This was her mid-winter "fix" for
diving. She has to wait until May to go diving again in the Brainerd area. Paula has over 650 dives to her cretit. |
 |
 |
|
How does this work? Once figured out, it was time to go under. |
 |
|
Looks like they are doing OK so far. |
 |
|
Some took to the water like fish. |
 |
|
Then it was off to the deep end of the pool. |
 |
|
Ops....how do I set the buoyancy compensator? |
 |
|
Got it now. |
 |
|
A family affair diving experience. |
 |
|
Son and father did well too. |
 |
 |
|
Quite a learning experience. Seventeen year old foreign exchange student
Numicha "Fully" Pholjaroen from Thailand did OK. |
 |
| In the end, It was a good experience for all. |
Quote of the day:
Diving is for Paula, not for me. Mark
