Romeo High Goes Down Under

We were happy to be invited out to Romeo High School today to share a little DISCOVER Scuba with swimming, diving, and lifeguard students!

Sally (lower left), from Romeo High, organized this great day for us and her students. Although they're backgrounds in the water varied, it was important to Sally to show everyone that there's even more yet available to them underwater in addition to traditional swim classes. The success was evident with such a strong and interested turnout!

As Pam and Dave of Great Lakes Dive Center welcomed the students and gave them proper pre-dive instrutions, the rest of us readied all the sets of equipment...

Then our crew was ready to go. From Left, Bob, Dave (owner of Great Lakes Dive Center), Gary, Bob, Keith, and Joe (me).

Candice (left), and Kendal agreed to be my picture subjects in between some games of catch with our underwater torpedo... This happens to be their 3rd time in the water today, and this time they just had to get out their own fins to really take advantage of more underwater time.

This looks like a great place for... oh yeah, a game of "rocks, paper, scissors." I see paper coming out on the right, and unfortunately it looks like scissors on the left!

Most everyone went head-over-heals with at least one underwater somersault...

Thanks to Sally, Romeo High School, and especially the students for being such great SCUBA students today! We had lots of fun, and we're looking forward to seeing all of our new friends out on the open water some day as fully certified divers!
