  • SCUBA Diving Training at Marion Military Institute SCUBA Tigers FAQ Document AY 2013-2014
    SCUBA Diving Training at Marion Military Institute SCUBA Tigers FAQ Document AY 2013-2014 The following information is provided to acquaint MMI cadets with opportunities in SCUBA training at the Institute. This is the second year for SCUBA lessons and open water certification at MMI. Last September the first group of MMI SCUBA Tigers started their training with Instructional Staff of Southern Skin Divers Supply (SSDS), MMI’s partner in SCUBA training and recreational diving. After four weeks of training at MMI facilities 21 Cadets earned their Scuba Schools International (SSI) Open- Water Certification during their check dives at Morrison Springs and St. Andrews Jetties, FL. After that, the newly certified divers went drift diving and swam with the Manatees (picture to the Left) in the Rainbow River and Crystal River, FL. Many took advantage of inshore wreck trips out of Panama City and then learned about the benefits of Enriched Air NITROX and harvested some Flounder in the Winter. Their progression led to diving several wrecks off the coast of Alabama and began the work of helping to eradicate the invasive lionfish population. The MMI Scuba Tigers made their final dives this Spring off the shores of Orange Beach, AL on a sunken Navy Tug followed by the air craft carrier, USS Oriskany (the “Mighty O”) which is the largest man-mad reef in the world. Do I need to be a strong swimmer to take scuba lessons? Not necessarily, but you do need to be comfortable in the water and have moderate – good swim skills. Safety always comes first in SCUBA and safe SCUBA is all about the equipment.
