Introduction

When learning to scuba dive, we had 2 team exercises to perform. One was to tread water for 20 minutes. Once we mastered that, a one pound weight was given to us. We as a team had to stay afloat for another 20 minutes. The second was to swim to the bottom of the pool where several scuba tanks were positioned and swim from tank to tank. At the beginning this was easy because there were 5 tanks spread out around the pool. But the real difficulty came when more and more of us went down.

Some couldn’t let it go and eventually we would have to surface. read more . . .
