Class sessions are held in the Sebastian Room on MGM Studios Back Lot.
John and Jack will take turns filling your heads with "bunches" of information...
...all of which you'll need for the test...and all of which will make you a
better diver.
Pool Sessions
The first pool session, we'll evaluate
your swimming skills (1/4 mile swim, 60 foot underwater
swim, and 5 minutes of treading water). Plus, we'll
teach you a couple of things you may not know.
Snorkel Sessions
Next we show you how to kick with your
fins and several way to properly purge a snorkel among
other things.
Scuba Sessions
In our Scuba Sessions, you learn how to setup your
gear...
...how to remain calm when you lose your mask...
...and how to get better aquainted with your new
equipment.
Lake Denton Checkout
Dives
And then the BIG day arrives...check
out dives... open water.... no more pool sides...
fish, turtles. We all meet up at the Cross-Roads Mickey-Ds
at 6:00 AM (yes, as in the EARLY morning) and convoy
to Avon Park (about an hour and a piece down US27).
We regroup at the Avon Park BK for one last pit stop
then head out to the lake.
If we're lucky, we're the first one's to the lake.
This gives us the "choice" spots on the
"beach" and a place to park.
Mask Clearing...
