The Diving Club of Mahidol University International College (MUIC) organized the “Pool Session” at BB Marine Boating and Scuba Diving on March 2-3, 2024, attracting 27 students.
This activity catered to two groups of individuals: those aspiring to join the Ocean Session for scuba diving certification and those eager to explore the wonders of scuba diving.
Throughout this engaging session, the instructors meticulously covered essential theoretical concepts, ensuring that every participant gains a comprehensive understanding of the principles of scuba diving.
Participants were equipped with real scuba gear and received hands-on training before immersing themselves in the scuba pool. Within the pool’s controlled environment, participants had the opportunity to practice a set of crucial skills, including assembling dive equipment, donning the gear using proper techniques, conducting buoyancy checks at the surface, inflating/deflating the BCD (Buoyancy Control Device) on the surface, adopting proper breathing patterns, and maintaining buoyancy while swimming, among others.
Additionally, participants practiced the giant stride entry into the scuba diving pool, which simulated a 5-meter depth, preparing them for the real giant stride entry from a boat.
Furthermore, the club’s instructors emphasized safety precautions by sharing their real-life experiences as case studies. This ensured that all participants were well-prepared for safe and enjoyable diving experiences in the future.
