Scuba Skills Update at the Lakeside Country Club
August 3 @ 10:00 am – 1:00 pm CDT
When it is time to get back into the water!
Have you been out of the water for a while? Do you remember how to assemble your equipment? Do you remember how much weight you need in fresh or salt water?
If you have been away from diving for a few months or a few years, a Scuba Skills Update is an ideal way to get comfortable again and get ready for your diving vacation. This program is designed to help you get comfortable again while reviewing your basic diving skills and relearning what if means to be neutrally buoyant underwater. This is also your opportunity to pull out your diving equipment and let us help you check and make sure it is operational before your trip. You can even trade-in some of your equipment and get some newer stylish things to help make you look as good as you feel when you are floating weightlessly in the water.
There are some forms for you to complete and some reading you should do beforehand. The reading is on-line and just serves as a review of some of the basic diving concepts.
Enrollment needs to be done at least two weeks ahead of the class so we can review your equipment with you and check the completion of the forms. This also gives you enough time to review the on-line materials prior to your class session.
This program is open to members of the Lakeside Country Club. You must register with the Aquatic Staff prior to the event.
Contact Doug Durkee for more details
We will be diving in the Family Pool.
Why a Scuba Skills Update? | This session is designed to help you feel comfortable and confident when you jump back into the water. We will cover a little diving physics, some dive planning but the big thing is we will remind you how to assemble your equipment and to get into the pool. We will build on this and refresh your basic diving skills in the pool along with helping you rediscover neutral buoyancy. |
Why Learn Now? | If you have been away from diving for a while, it is a good idea to refresh your knowledge and skills. And, most resorts and diver operators require either frequent diving or a scuba skills update before taking you diving. By doing it here you get to spend more time diving on your vacation. |
