Myesha and Ana Give the "OK"!
On Saturday April 30, 2011, Eco Dive Center sponsored the Second Chances Mentoring Program for its Discovery Scuba program! Seven of our mentoring couples had the incredible opportunity to participate in a 1-hour pool session that introduced them to scuba diving. Mentees geared up, buddied up with their mentors, and learned how to breathe through a regulator, clear their mask underwater, and swim through a hula hoop!
Check out some of the action below:

Foundation for Second Chances is incredibly grateful to Eco Dive Center for such an amazing day! Our youth don't get much exposure to life outside their homes and schools, and Eco Dive Center definitely went above and beyond in providing a unique experience for our youth that also helped them build trust, gain confidence, and expand their worldview.
Special thanks goes to Beth Beltramo, co-owner of Eco Dive Center and our fabulous instructor for the day! Thanks also go out to Carlos Linares for snapping the underwater photos of our group :o)
