Scuba Olympics

[Scuba_Jenny]

In the spirit of the Olympics. If there were a SCUBA division. What would a diver need to be the best of the best and earn a gold medal?

Low vis, high current, maintain a perfect buoyancy at particular depths...
Different gear configs challenges- side mount, single tank, free diving, etc...

I've conducted kids ski races at the resort where I work where they have to run from a starting line and get on their skis or snowboard and then run the course. I could envision a fast-walking start (no running by the pool!) from a preset distance, assemble your gear and get it on, giant stride into the pool and then run some sort of obstacle course.

I would think something along the lines of the pipe assembly in men of honor, along with a wreck/cave dive where you have to navigate perfectly off compass and distances and have buoyancy criteria. I don't think you could do anything along the lines of sac rate/conserving air as part of it, nor can you have anything that purposely put a diver in a high risk situation as you'd have millions watching and you need to set a good example of safest best practice.

Obviously the 400 meter immersion race.

Squats and running with a tank... I've done this. It sucks.
