Itinerary:

What's it like to be able to breathe under water? How does it feel to fly in slow motion over a seemingly endless alien landscape. Join us and find out!

Our event will take place at Scuba2000.

We'll spend about an hour in their warm salt-water dive pool (getting to know the equipment, blowing bubbles, making faces, swimming around without surfacing for as long as you like, etc.). They have some underwater torpedoes we can play catch with. After the event some of us might go for a bite and/or a drink. (optional)

Erik (your volunteer on this event) is an enthusiastic Scuba diver, and has attended courses at Scuba2000 leading to several personal certifications.
