[Nmabs] The Cody Unser First Step Foundation: Adaptive Discover Scuba

Tara and Team -

Greetings!  Shelley Unser asked me to contact you on her behalf.

We are thrilled that you will be able to attend the Handicapped Scuba
Association (HSA) Scuba Training Event and experience scuba diving by taking
our PADI Discover Scuba Class.  It will be one of the most rewarding
experiences you will have, I guarantee it.  And one more bit of news,
although you will be instructed by our local dive instructors, Jim Gatacre
will be there.  Jim is the founder of HSA and it is a treat to have him here
in New Mexico during your training.

The PADI Discover Scuba Diving program lets you experience the thrill of
diving under the supervision of a PADI Professional in pool or pool-like
conditions. During your adventure, you'll master some basic concepts and
scuba skills, and then you'll discover excitement and adventure - freedom
and serenity of being "weightless" and breathing underwater.  By completing
the Discover Scuba Class, you will be able to decide if scuba diving is a
sporting activity that interests you.

We will need contact information for each participant and able-bodied dive
buddy so I can call them to get some additional info needed to fit the dive
gear.

The attached forms are general forms that PADI requires all students to
submit before attending any training classes.  Please print, fill them out,
and bring them with you.

Medical Statement Instructions:

Print the document, fill it out, and bring it with you to class.  Please
ensure that you answer by spelling out NO or YES and sign the form.

Medical Statements with NO answers -   just sign and bring it with you.

Medical Statements with YES answers - you will need the form signed by a
medical doctor before you can participate.

Logistics:

Here are the logistics for the class.  Let me know if you have any questions
or need clarification.

Hi all,

Please do as asked in the below message and let me know ASAP if you are
