Virginia Aquarium seeking volunteer divers...

[weaponeer]

Hope the introduction and paperwork shuffle went well for those who attended today. Tomorrow's water portion of tryouts will be at Bow Creek Recreation Center at 8:30 AM.

Pretty big group. Around 23 people. Getting ready to leave for the dive portion and am pretty excited. Red sea exhibit is a very nice exhibit. Hope to get in it one day in the future and I mean the future.

How did everything turn out this weekend?

 

[Drewdive]

It went well. All 23 of us passed the testing and most should be at the meeting tonight.

The Virginia Aquarium is putting the finishing touches on it expansion, including the 'Red Sea' exhibit, and is looking for more volunteer divers.

Send in your application (available on the website), and prepare to join the screening process. The minimum requirements are OW + 10 dives or AOW, and there is an in-water test (buoyancy control, etc.).

Come join the fun and swim with diverse aquatics year round!

Ohhhhh I so wish! Trying to get to volunteer in the Atlanta aquarium is like getting to go land on the moon. Damn near impossible and only for a small group.

Just did my check off dives and am official diver now. It was alot of fun and they let me feed the fish during my training dive since I was the only one today. A lot of fun. Can't wait to get into the water.

Cool Drew! Were you there when my girl Kate did her dive at 11am?

 

[Drewdive]

Yeah, that was me. I was doing my spot check off.
