4.24-4.25.09 - Pompano Seafood Festival
Sunday, April 26th, 2009
Hey Gang!
Well it has been a while since I posted last. I have been a busy camper these days and finally have some time to post. Back at the beginning of April, I finished my NAUI Instructor ITC so I can now teach SCUBA diving, and I have been busy with teaching, Divemaster work, and shooting video ever since!
So here’s what happened this past weekend. I had the opportunity to work at the Pompano Seafood Festival with the good folks from DEMA in the “Be a Diver” pool. This was a 30 x 20 foot pool with a depth of about 4ft where anyone who wanted to try scuba diving could strap on a tank and, under supervision of an instructor, experience the thrill of SCUBA diving. I worked in the pool all day both Saturday and Sunday and met lots of nice people. There were a great deal of kids (as you can imagine) as well as adults all getting their first taste of the underwater world. After they tried it out, we gave them all packets of info from the various dive shops in the area and suggested they call for classes. I had a BLAST!! I also got to meet Neal Watson who stopped by for a visit on Sunday, and my friends Heather, Kim, Bob, Jim and Maureen all stopped by to say “Hi!”.
If you ever get the chance to see this pool in action, stop by and say “Hi!” to those working in it, and of course, bring a non-diving friend to try it out!
Playing in the water in Paradise all the time now,
The Video Dude!
