Are You For SCUBA?

About a month ago we had the opportunity to take a beginner Scuba Diving class with Ben's family at Dive Addicts in Draper. Ben has been wanting to do this for a long time and it was on my list of things I never want to do. Anyone that knows me well, knows I have a fear of water and don't swim well. Taking a class where they add weights to you in order to make you sink and breathing through something other than my mouth and nose didn't sound so appealing. But we did it and loved it! It was definitely scary at first (well for me at least). I think the worst part was when she told us we were going to take the aspirator (what is allowing me to breathe....hyperventilate) out while sitting on the bottom of the pool and learn how to clear water out of it- this is if it ever gets knocked out of your mouth. We went down 12 feet deep and got to play around on the bottom of the pool for about 30 minutes. Ben was a natural and loved every minute of it as well as the rest of the family. I definitely need more work on swimming with flippers. All in all we had a great time and it was an awesome experience!
