Buoyancy Competition Update

On Friday we put several of the younger divers through their paces in the Buoyancy challenge. A number of the Orca fraternity are having a go at this throughout May with the chance to win an Orca T-shirt or a Peak Performance Specialty course.
Of course we have also tied in the prize with next months PADI specialty of the month challenge so there is a further chance to win prizes for the outright winner of the competition.
On Friday evening during our monthly club night James, Lewis, Danielle,Louise and Harry all had a go. With ten points each for five tasks and a further ten for overall style each of the contestants had a good chance of getting some decent marks on the board.
Harry was outstanding as he has yet to complete his full open water course. Meanwhile James took a lead in the overall competition showing off some classy hovering skills.
The five tasks all include a variation on the hovering theme and included swimming through hoops, hovering while removing and replacing a mask, vertical hovering and the more challenging inverted hovering.
I should add that the whole thing is handicapped which does mean as some of our Dive Masters have entered the fray they can rest assured that they will have to put on a good show to overtake James.
