Introduction to SCUBA

The Scouts of Troop 403 had the opportunity to try out SCUBA last night. After an introduction to how the equipment works they donned their tanks and mask and jumped in.They spent the first little while getting use to breathing thru the regulator and how to clear the equipment of water in case it gets dislodged.

After everyone was comfortable with the equipment and how to use it the got around to moving and playing underwater. Here you can see Noah's friend Rowen getting ready to throw a disk to Noah

And Noah ready to catch it. The boys did not get to swim around, this was just an introduction. But it is a merit badge they can work on if they choose to do it.
