Important Safety Tips
For Teen Skin Divers

Here are 10 important safety rules for
skin divers. They are offered by Bob Lawler.
the 19-year~old chief instructor in skin and
SCUBA diving at the Alexandria YMCA. He
urges that you:
BE in good physical condition at all times
DO not look for bargains. Buy good equipment
and maintain it properly
Secure good training from legitimate instruc-
tor.
4-NeVer dive alone Always have a "buddy" with
you under water. Have a safety man at the
surface whenever possible.
S-Know your diving area. Avoid dangerous places
and poor conditions Take whatever special pre-
cautions the area requires.
s S-Plan your dive. Anticipate and solve all your
problems before you get wet.
Don't Over-extend yourself in the water Know
the limits Of your capabilities and stay within
them.
S-Use boat float both. Be able to reach safety
quickly in case Of emergency.
S-Be ready for emergencies. Have plans of action
ready. Know your lifesaving, first aid and rescue

The only obligation a girl

Necking or good night

Skin-diving is q sport of
minor details that must be
remembered always, Bob says,
and with proper training it
can be safe.
Helping Bob with the skin
diving course are his chief
assistant, Bucky Walter, a
biologist for the National
Park Service, { and two
assistant instructors, Dan
Murdaugh, the assistant
principal Of Hammond High
School, and Dennis Early, is,
a freshman at Groveton High
School.
The students must furnish
their own skin diving equip
ment for the course. The
basic equipment. including a
face mask, fins. snorkel and
Mae West jacket, costs be-
tween SIS and $50. That's all
that is needed for instruc-
ton purposes. But to follow
skin diving as a sport, they
later win need to add q rub
Der suit, weight belt, compass
and diving knife. These items
cost between $50 and $50.
Students in the more ad-
vanced SCUBA course must
have a SCUBA tank and a
regulator. These cost between
$50 and 5000. depending ON
the quality. And SCUBA
divers later must add a
pressure gauge, depth gauge
and underwater watch, cost
ing between $50 and $500.
For the skin diving course,
the students use five books,
and the instructors rely upon
the United States Navy DIV
ing Manual. That's the
Bible Of underwater sports"
Bob says.
Among the subjects the
class takes up are the physics
and physiology Of skin diving,
rescue procedures, search
patterns, self rescue, first
aid, lifesaving. marine life,
underwater navigation, care
Of equipment, information on
where to dive and what to
expect.
mot everybody can be-
come a safe skin diver" Bob
says, "and many Of the
students funk out. Some
don't master the safety pro-
cedureS and don't learn
enough theory. or they fail
to complete the physical re-
quirements. Also. their atti-
tude is important, such as
whether they're stable enough
to be safe. If they're reck-
less and have no considera-
ton for other persons or If
they're not willing to work,
they don't make it."
Bob, who wants to become
a heart surgeon, began teach
