The intangibles are where the real benefit of the club lies. There are too many to list, but you'll have access to a vast amount of SCUBA diving expertise, information, and comeradery by being part of the club and getting to know the members. The monthly meeting programs/presentations are always interesting and informative. Come to a meeting when you can just to check us out - no need to join the club to come to the meetings.
No. Many of our members are not NASA employees or contractors. The club is open to everyone.
Absolutely not, but we will do our best to make you one! We like to dive. And when we're not diving we like to talk about diving. And we want to share our love of diving with everyone else.
Yes and no. We do not sponsor classes directly. However, our training coordinator is a PADI instructor and he has his own web site. Please click here for his website and here for more info on his classes and trips.
Yes. The club sponsors trips which are limited to club members and various club members put together trips that are open to all.
Here are 3 suggestions:
1) Have prescription lenses (made
exactly to your eyeglass prescription) "bonded" to your mask.
2) Get a mask that you can buy "drop-in
diopters" to replace the clear glass lenses in the mask. You can get diopters
close to the magnification specs on your eye glass prescription - but they
probably won't provide full and accurate vision correction. Some or our members
find that this works OK. 3) Wear your contacts and use a regular
mask. We have members who do this with both semi-rigid gas permeable lenses and
soft ones. Of course you risk flooding your mask and loosing the lenses so
you'll want to bring backups. Haven't heard of anyone having problems but you should
probably check with your eye doctor first. This is a very individual question. The simple answer is "Talk to your doctor."
If you want to do some research yourself, go to www.diversalertnetwork.org and type "asthma"
in the search. Divers Alert Network (DAN) is a well-recognized organization that
researches
the medical aspects of diving. Please email michael.j.manering1@jsc.nasa.gov
Can I dive with asthma?
