STANDARDS TlGHTENED
Skin Diving Course Tough
BY CHARLES COVELL
Outdoor Editor

Lots of youngsters, and
grownups, too, are interested in
skin diving. It's a sport strictly
for the physically fit, though,
and governed by standards of
safety that cannot be violated.
Since much of the job of
teaching novices is left to the
IA member clubs. the Atlantic
Skin Diving Council has COM
pletely revised its instruction
program.
For the last eight months,
Carl Jones of Washington, the
councils training director,
George Snellings Of College
Park, assistant director, and
several others have been labor
ing to set up a new and
tougher course for instructors.
Glass Starts Tomorrow
All council instructors are
required to take this course to
keep their ratings and a new
class will start at 7:3O pm.
tomorrow in Chamberly's Res
taurant on Fifteenth street
NV. Each club may designate
two men to take it.
When the instructors have
qualified, they may start pass
ing on their new knowledge to
members OF their own clubs
and to newcomers.
Helping to set up the course
have been Van Buskirk, Craig
Ballinger, Richard Thomas,
Albert Jose Jones, Bucky Wal
ter, jr.; John Stewart, jr.;
Colon K. (Rusty) Sheriff. and
Robert Langston.
The course is mot an easy
one. 1t starts with an entrance
examination covering all
phases of scuba diving, followed
by water tests of swimming and
scuba handling ability in the
Naval Research Laboratory
Pool.
Must Dive so Feet
After this there is q senior
life saving course which lasts
20 hours, standard and ad-
vanced first aid courses which
last 20 to 80 hours, lessons on
methods of teaching and final
examinations. These include a
free ascent from a depth of col
feet in an abandoned quarry
near MartinSburg, w. Va, that
the council uses plus proof of
ability to ditch and don scuba
equipment.
Training, though, is only one
of the councils many activities.

new equipment received from
various manufacturers. A skin
