Oooh, I'm all excited!

This week THU the venturers section of a local scout group (Beachhaven) is doing a #freediving session with me in a local pool. It'll be geared towards general water safety, particularly with respect to spear fishing (very common here). It took quite a bit of effort to get that across the line with the pool, but we've got a very good safety concept documented and agreed for it. The kids in the group are already very excited (just like me). They should be able to tick quite a few boxes for their next water safety badge requirements, too.

I've got hopes that the odd one may get into it and join our club (for more comprehensive training). And that we can pull this off for more sessions in the future too.

I'm also keen to get a picture of me doing a DNF (dynamics no fins) dive wearing my Mayfield scarf over my wet suit, too. :-D

Finally came up with two viable raft designs in our #scout group for the weekend's founder's day raft race event in our zone.

This week end is the first of the three pre-jamboree #scouts camps for this year. Unfortunately due to the bad weather forecast the first night (tonight until Sat) has already been called off :-(

Let's hope it lightens up for tomorrow.

The plan is to build and use rafts made from poles/bamboo, ropes and barrels only (in preparation for next week's founders day event), as well as camping skills.
