We decided to help with the stake's yearly SCUBA trip after Aubree and I saw how much planning, preparation and work it was. We helped bring equipment and food from the valley, and facilitated the shuttling back and forth of the different SCUBA groups to the marina. We also came up with a printed itinerary and ideas of what to do in San Diego when the groups weren't diving. We stay at a scout camp in Balboa Park. The plan was to help cook, transport, entertain and help keep everything organized, and then stay for a few extra days in San Diego after everyone else went home.
We enjoy spending time with the Bitter family. They have kids around our kids' same ages. Bro. Bitter is in charge of the SCUBA trip for our stake and his wife did all the cooking the year Aubree and I certified. Here we are unloading gear from the truck.
Coordinating permission slips, equipment and schedules at the marina. They dive 2 days off the boat and once from the beach at La Jolla Cove. There are usually 2 dive groups. One dives in the morning, and the other group comes in the afternoon. Then that same group dives the next morning, and the first group does the last afternoon dive. At the cove, they have to share equipment, so if you get the equipment first, you have to hurry and do your dive so the next person has time to dive before we have to go back and break camp.
I got to help design the dive shirt this year. :)
We paid for Aubree to go on this dive trip as a graduation present. It's something she enjoys and it's a good trip for our family. This trip, she saw star fish, lobster, anemones, a sting ray, and lots of fish.
Receiving instructions on how far to go and what to avoid so you don't get yelled at by the life guards at the cove.
