an introduction to Scuba diving

As part of the 101 Things To Do in RiverTown series that I have been working on this year, I interviewed the owner of St. Croix Scuba Diving and Snorkeling in Hudson, Wisconsin.  He invited me to take their introductory scuba diving class, so I did.  He explained the things I would need to know to operate the breathing system, then took me to the YMCA swimming pool to try it all out.  Taking those first few breaths underwater was a weird sensation, but then I got used to it and really enjoyed it.  My 101 article on scuba diving will be in RiverTown publications in December.
