Learning To Scuba Dive, The Confined Water Session


Once a student has learned a new skill, being able to perform the skill to a mastery level takes practice.  Here at Lake Hickory Scuba Center, we work one on one with every student to make sure they get the very best quality of training, and we make it very easy to learn new skills by teaching in a stair step model.  Here one of our students is learning how to remove and replace her mask underwater. After receiving a very thorough briefing of the skill, where she learns the value of it, she will watch her instructor demonstrate the skill for her. Then she starts with a partial flood and clear, then a complete flood and clear, and finally she is able to perform a complete mask removal and replace.  Re-enforcing a positive feed back, and the value of the skill is very important, so the student can learn from mistakes with out getting discouraged.   In her next pool session, we will take her to the deep end and have her perform the skill once again, in the neutral horizontal position.  When it comes time to complete her check out evaluation dives, removing and replacing the mask will be easy for her to complete, because she has built up muscle memory by repeating the skill over and over in the confined water session.  Building up her confidence in the pool is essential to her being able to pass her Open Water Check Out Dives.
