The Diamond Reef Challenge Course will be set up for friendly competition on August 25, 2008 at Meeks Bay, Lake Tahoe. This event will be in conjunction with the monthly fun dive ! To preview your next adventure click here
Seven diamond shaped Hover Stations™ are positioned to simulate variations in depth that a diver may need to accomplish during a dive. The last Hover Station™ is placed to simulate a safety stop. As divers pass through each of the 7 Hover Stations™ they increase their awareness and skill in executing proper ascent rates, horizontal hovers and stops, breathing, and subtle body movement techniques. http://www.seahorsetales.com/logs/Education/DiaReef.html
300 Divers have tried since 1994, only 4 have succeeded.
The program was designed by Pete Wallingford, an educational technologist based in Seattle, Washington, US. The system is used by the US government and in over seven countries world-wide. http://www.bsoup.org/Articles/Buoyancy.php
