The Saint Mary’s University Scuba club is trying something new…under water.
The Scuba club plans to try underwater pumpkin carving, said Angela Lager, president of the Scuba club, in an e-mail.
“We'll see how many pumpkins actually make it underwater,” said Lager. “Physics (is) working against us with the buoyancy of the pumpkins!”
Currently, the Scuba club has 15 active members who participate in three dives throughout the school year. “We do not have set times or days that we meet,” said Lager.
Lager said the number of club members continues to grow. “(The) number (of participants) continues to grow with the new scuba class that is being offered at Saint Mary's,” said Lager. In order to participate in dives, club members must go through training and be certified by the National Association of Underwater Instructors (NAUO) or the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI).
Anyone interested in becoming scuba certified may enroll in the scuba class offered each year or contact Head Swimming and Diving Coach Eric Lindquist. Anyone already certified who is interested in the scuba club can contact Lager at amlage05@smumn.edu.
