After three weeks of Junior Sea Camp (ages 8-12), the big kids have finally arrived. They range in age from 12 to 17 and, in addition to simply having a good time for three weeks here in Toyon Bay, many will be earning scuba diving certifications. That's where the other dive staff and I come in. I myself will be assisting with a scuba Rescue class, an Advanced Scuba class, and will be teaching a Skin Diving class. This last one is essentially a freediving course (think: snorkelling, but also breathhold diving below the surface). I'm excited about all three assignments, but also quite a bit nervous. Although I've done lots of onsite briefings ("this is where we will be diving, this is what we will be doing", etc.), I haven't yet had to prepare much in advance for them. This will be a good challenge for me as a new instructor, as organization is definitely NOT one of my strengths.
Time to go meet the kids!
