Hi there,

I am sure the folks here will be happy to help you out.

Gene,

Tell us more about what you need -- one idea would be to go back to the book/text you used during your certification course and gather information from there. It would be a useful guide -- you can go through it and decide which topics you want to talk about -- equipment, the various "laws" (Boyle's Law, Dalton's Law, etc.).

One idea would be to use "adaptation" as your theme. I recently did a scuba presentation to my son's elementary school class where I put on all my gear and then entered the classroom to give a little presentation. I focused on adaptation -- how humans have to adapt to living for short periods underwater and how the various pieces of gear we use helps us to do this effectively.

Let us know if you have more questions --- good luck!

-Chris

Large Diver,
That sounds like a great lesson! My class is very interested when I talk about diving. They love to look at pictures and read my old Dive Training magazines. I am planning on bringing my gear to class, and I think your idea is an outstanding presentation. Adaptation is a focus in part of our science curriculum. It becomes very easy to get caught up in the adaptation of fauna and flora without examining how we need to adapt when entering a "foreign" ecosystem.
