Diving

Jasper, Alberta, Canada. Water temp 48 degrees Fahrenheit. Finished the Advanced diving course. The course consisted of five dives.
Navigation dive – only using a compass under water, navigating squares and triangles. Lake Edith.
Peak performance dive - manipulating through a series of hula-hoops set at different levels in the water. Lake Edith.
Night dive - a flashlight and glow stick on our backs, on the lake bottom in the dark, looking for golf balls beside the Jasper golf course. Lake Beauvert
Deep-dive - equivalent to an ocean dive of 92 feet. Lake Beauvert.
Search and Recovery dive - searching for articles at the bottom of the lake and lifting heavy items using an air bag. Lake Edith.
Three of us started the Advanced Diver course the other two quit; ended up good for me I got a private lesson.
