On 11 March, 2011, seven students from Project Bridge as well as three
staff members
experienced DISCOVER SCUBA at Tamiami Pool. To say that they
were excited is putting it lightly! After a poolside orientation to
the equipment, the participants were in the water practicing the new
skills and breathing underwater on SCUBA. The Lockwood Memorial Dive
Program at Shake-A-Leg Miami serves to capture the unique healing
power of water as the great equalizer; in an environment without
gravity, everyone is equal. It introduces participants to SCUBA, an
activity that they might otherwise never have the opportunity to
experience. It teaches them technical skills and encourages them to
build trust and gain confidence. It will introduce participants to
what otherwise would be inaccessible - the undersea environment.
