Our SCUBA pool session

We woke up early on Sunday to attend our first active lesson after completing all of our bookwork. We were fitted with masks, snorkel, fins and wetsuits, along with all of our other SCUBA equipment. After driving to the Southside Pool, we spent the day learning how to properly put together our equipment, how to make ourselves buoyant in the water, how to take our equipment off and put it back on in the water. It was a full day and by the end we felt like drowned rats, but after learning the skills they weren’t too hard to practice over again. Our water logged bodies felt recovered finally after a hot shower, dry clothes and a cold James Squire Amber Ale.
