In the earlier days of TERM II, Master Scuba Diver Fraser paid a visit to ISB to encourage us already-ever-so-green students of ISB to further their anti-"anti-earth" campaign under the sea
(take it from me!) lol.
In the watery depths of the vast seven seas is where us amphibian divers will clean the world up, while our landwalker counterparts slowly scrub up the beaches.
Our scuba diving team (Codenamed: SIR CANTERFORD TEAM) consists of only 7 members, 6 of which are IB students from ISB.
The training began on a sunny Saturday of the third month. Prior to the dives we were made to study and know by heart facts about diving from a 300 page textbook which I found heavy enough
to act as a paper clamp on my desk.
The dives were, well in one word, awesome.
We began with the basics of diving, putting together our equipment and learning to put them on.
Unbelievable as it seems, the dive equipment was even heavier than the textbook, even more so, far outstripping even my own legendary mega-weighted school bag.
But once submerged, the equipment did not feel heavy at all. If anything, it would be reason why we could float when we needed to.
Confined water dives are done in the swimming pool, and there we learn basic safety and emergency procedures and learn techniques of scuba diving.
Open water dives, are done at sea, and is where we have fun. =D
Take a look at some pictures!
We also paid Mr. Nemo and his dad a visit! =D
They are doing fine, they say thanks.
Somewhat unfortunately, .......
the underwater photographer didn't take any pictures of ME.
I'm still considering a lawsuit.
Welcome! To the watery depths of the Seven Seas.
Where water and salt is one.
