Keep it Simple

  • Start getting used to being underwater and looking through a mask by going snorkeling! You could even set up a snorkel safari.

Take it Further

  • Plan a diving trip! Go somewhere with interesting dive sites that your Company or Crew can visit. You might even be able to connect with a local Scouting Group or diving club!
