Scuba Olympics - another great success...

Pictures - and even video - may flow through later, but here's a short report on the Club's annual Scuba Olympics event. A total of 10 divers participated - about average for the time of year. Five members of the training staff saw to it that everything ran smoothly, with the final event, underwater frisbee, finishing with just five minutes of the pool session remaining. Two more Club members undertook to record the activities for posterity, so the actual tally of members was 19.

Divers geared up, checked their buoyancy and then competed in four events: A relay bucket race; no fins running event - on the pool bottom; blindfold treasure hunt and obstacle course, which severely challenged skills. Judging by the smiles and laughter - on the surface anyway, it was fun for everyone involved. The generosity of various supporters from the local dive community allowed us to send all the participants away with some sort of prize.

Next event for the Club - a try-out evening on Saturday the 21st of March from 7 - 9 pm. Come along and try out a variety of equipments like side-mount rig, backplate, full-face mask and so on...
