Hold Your Breath!

The boys had the opportunity to scuba dive yesterday.  It was an introductory course offered by the local dive shop. They learned how to equalize their ears, remove, clear, and replace their air source, and how to check their air gauge to make sure they had enough air. They were in the water for an hour and a half, and underwater - breathing! - for more than half that time. I was able to watch from a viewing window. They are now pining for a dive certification course - which costs substantially more than the $15 introductory lesson…

I just saw these over at flickr and thought they were AWESOME!
(except I have this whole fear of swimming in the ocean thing. Yes, i live on the Atlantic.)

Well, Andrea, this was in a pool, but there is NO WAY I would have done this. As it is, I found myself holding my breath and had to remind myself to keep breathing (the first safety rule they learned about being underwater with tanks!).

What an incredible opportunity…… I’ve always wanted to try that! It’s so neat that they have the viewing area so you can watch.
