Scuba Diving on Real Sports...

I just finished watching a special on Real Sports with Bryant Gumble. It is under the heading of an Interview with Bill Russell and Jim Brown. After the interviews, there is a special involving scuba diving off of the island at Guantanamo Bay. There, they have taken soldiers who were wounded in combat and teach them how to scuba dive and enjoy some beautiful diving off of the island's coast with gorgeous reefs. It was an inspiring show on the subject of diving and how wounded soldiers are enjoying a new experience underwater. If you get the chance, please take a moment to watch it. I enjoyed it tremendously.

It is a great show. Someday I hope to do the same with our veterans.
