MORE SCUBA PICS

Well here are the pictures from our Scuba diving class that they took with their underwater camera. It was so much fun and if I could figure out how to get my stinking ears to equalize (read previous post) it would be fun to go take the full course and get certified. Anyways...enjoy!!
This picture is (left to right) Dakota-the kid that was helping our teacher, Jaron - in the green fins and my dad.


This picture was taken when we were getting ready to start a relay race with ping pong balls and golf balls. Stating the obvious that ping pong balls float and golf balls sink, we were on teams and had to hold a spoon and one team member swam the golf ball across to the other team member and when they met the other team member took the ping pong ball with the spoon. it was fun to see people try to balance the golf balls on the spoon while swimming and then hold the ping pong ball down with the spoon while swimming.
This is Jaron and one of the girls that was in our class. Jaron and I had to stay in the 5 foot range of depth because me hears would have too much pressure if we went any deeper.

Haha this is me trying to hold the ping pong ball down while swimming across to Jaron (my partner) I promise i wasnt cheating and holding the bottom of the ball like the picture looks. (Notice the yellow ring thing under my arm-pit....they had to stick extra weights on me because even though I had the heavy tank and everything on I still couldnt sink to the bottom. I kept floating near the top. lol)

My dad balancing the golf ball while posing for a picture.

This is Jaron and another girl patiently waiting for their partners to hurry over.

This is Colton and Dakota. I dont know what Colton was doing....

We had a great time. If anyone is interested in taking a class let me know and I'll get you the guy's info!

That looks like so much fun, I wish we could do something like that. I would have to get over my fear of water first.
