Scuba Show 2015:
Saturday Seminar: Fitness Considerations for Diving Around-the-World
Date: June 6th, 2015
Time: 4:00 to 5:00 p.m.
Room: Seaside 7
Presented by: Gretchen M. Ashton, CFT, SFT, SFN, NBFE
Fit divers are safer, tend to dive more often, and are more likely to go on for advanced dive training. Since divers travel the world, fitness routines should vary to prepare for the type of diving, conditions and logistics at each dive destination.
Join me to examine why physical fitness programs should be customized for places like Hawaii, Palau, Fiji, the Caribbean and the coastal United States. Then travel with me and learn destination-specific featured exercises that prepare divers to go and stay fit on location.
Divers will be invited to ask questions, share experiences and receive a free scuba workout. This presentation includes something for divers of varied experience and all fitness levels.
