SCUBA certification is a requirement for our job so that we can dive in our exhibits to clean and do other
housekeeping. As the newest trainer, I just received my SCUBA certification. But before I can jump in with the seals, I had to do a
checkout dive with the Aquarium's
Diving Safety Officer in the
Giant Ocean Tank (GOT). I was nervous, and the fact that my boss, co-workers and a small crowd at the top of the tank were watching didn't help. As soon as I jumped in my nerves eased a little bit and we started the dive. Watch this video of how I did:
Way to go Justin!
ReplyDeleteThe video is kind of small and grainy ... but it looks like you know what you're doing.
Carry on!
omgosh! is that dangerous?
ReplyDeleteWay cool, dude!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry Justin, I did a check out dive with a weight belt and looked the same way. I ended up just tying it back on. The Dive Safety Officer makes it look so easy too, and when you take it off you immediately realize how buoyant salt water makes you.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on passing!
