SCUBA RANGERS - A WAY COOL KIDS CLUB
Hello
Kids!
My name is Captain Kelp
and me and my friends are going to tell you
about diving and how you too can go diving.
Diving is a very cool
sport. Maybe you have been watching TV and
see people going under water with bottles on
their backs and things in their mouths,
while swimming with red, blue and yellow
fish, or even with dolphins. And I'll bet
you would like to try that too some time,
right? And you can, of course!
If you are between 8 and
12 years old, you can become a SCUBA RANGER.
Together with other kids you can go diving
for real in a swimming pool, just like the
grown-ups you have been watching on TV. So
with a real cylinder on your back and a
mouth piece in your mouth, through which you
can breathe under water. Isn't that cool?
A real diver teaches you how you can
breathe under water and how you can stay at
the bottom of the swimming pool. So you won't
have to go up for air all the time! And if
you put on fins and a mask you will be able
to swim relaxed in the pool!
Once
you understand how to breathe under
water - and trust me, it is not that
hard - you are going to perform all
kinds of exercises, so eventually
you can do more and more under
water, but at the same time you will
learn how to help other divers under
water.
Sounds exciting, doesn't
it?
Now, it sounds like you
have to study a lot. But hey, it's a lot
of fun too! And once you have taken the
oath, as a Demo Ranger you can become a
member of the SCUBA RANGERS Club, a real
diving club. Of course you can learn
even more, like, for example, swimming
under water with a compass. Or how to
use a light in the dark. But, above all,
the SCUBA RANGERS Club is a lot of fun.
And besides playing games in and under
water, we also do a lot of other stuff
that is related to diving. Like a visit
to the aquarium for example, where you
can see all these beautiful fish at
close. And how would you feel about
giving your classmates a demonstration?
I'll bet they all will be jealous of
you!!! Probably they would like to be a
real diver too, just like you!
Together with my
friends Sergeant Major, Hammerhead,
Puffer and Spinner, I will guide you on
your SCUBA RANGERS adventure. We will
tell you everything you need to know and
do in order to become a true SCUBA
RANGER.
