Pool Dive for All Ages

Pool Dive for All Ages...
When it's -20 F outside, a couple of hours scuba diving in the pool is a nice escape!

- The Pool Dive I had scheduled for yesterday turned out a good number of family members and friends. I didn't get hard confirmations from anyone but the little kids, so I brought little tanks for them, lots of regulators, masks and fins. The little ones take to it like fishes. Grant swam and swam until he breathed his little Vigo 18 tank completely empty. He came up and said, "This thing doesn't work anymore." I had to put one of the little Vigo-18s on my big teenager just because I didn't know he was coming and that's all I had. But, we got the straps to fit and he was happy to be diving.
- Rich dove his new Twin 38s and I swear he looked just like Mike Nelson of Sea Hunt!
