Update:

Class went very well.   We had lots of students and three of those were refreshing skills.   We had three DivCons in the class, two helped with the open water pool session one.  I had the opportunity to work with the refreshers.   Boy, I will tell you, this is fun.  The three students were pretty much perfect.   I went over all the update skills with them without any issue.     I do want to point one thing out, though this not the first time I have seen this it is very important.   While acending do not put air into your BC!  If you do you are looking trouble.    The purpose of putting air into the BC is to keep you afloat on the surface and trim out your buoyancy while you are below.    Anyway, just wanted to share.   Enjoy the read!!!

It is time again to start reviewing some of the skills I learned while going through the SSI DiveCon course.     This coming up weekend, I will be assisting one of the Adventure Sports SSI instructors with dive class.   From what I understand, we will have several newbies and a few updates.      I will be reviewing the DivCon Scuba Skills update documentation in particular to make sure I do not miss anything.   We as DivCons generally perform the Skills Update solo.  Periodically reviewing the documentation keeps my mind sharp so that both the students and myself benefit from the training update.    I will go ahead and post an update when the class is complete and let everyone know how it went.

Shannon will not be joining me for dive class as she has to work.   We typically work as a team which allows some our classes to be a bit larger.

So if you are in the Kansas City area and with to get some dive training, do visit Adventure Sports.   Depending on the instructor teaching your class, you may be working both Shannon and myself.

-Thanks,
