André's First Time Scuba Diving

Jeremy is taking classes to be an Assistant Scuba Diver Instructor. He is allowed to take people in a pool to try scuba. On January 9th he had the opportunity to take André with him. We didn't have to rent any equipment because he could use all my gear. Jer talked to André the night before and explained to him a little bit about it.

He did fantastic being his first time. He is such a natural in the water. He learned to clear his ears, clear his mask, and worked hard keeping his buoyancy under control. He was in the water for 2 hours! He told Jer that he can't wait to go diving in the ocean... I think he will have to wait a few years for that.

Jeremy está tomando clases para ser un Asistente de Instructor de Buceo. Por hacerlo le permiten llevar personar a probar a bucear en una piscina. El 9 de enero él tubo la oportunidad de llevar André a bucear. No tuvimos que rentar equipo ya que él pudo usar el mio. Jer le explicó a André la noche anterior algunas cosas que debía saber al estar en el agua.

El lo hizo muy bien por haber sido su primera vez. André es muy natural en el agua. Aprendió a destapar sus oídos, limpiar su mascara y trabajó fuerte tratando de mantener su flotabilidad bajo control. Estuviern en el agua por 2 horas! El le dijo a Jer que no puede esperar hasta que pueda bucear en el oceano... el va a tener que esperar algunos anos para eso.
