The idea was conceived during the Discover Scuba event held at Sunset Bay Club & Seaside Dive Center during Dive Fest 2007. Frederique Huard thought, “LET’S DO IT!” So with complete involvement of hotel-owner Marcella Cools, four teenagers from Mero were given the opportunity to do a PADI Open Water Scuba Certification Course.
Now she is proud that they made it through the course, with the help of Arun Madisetti who was their Dive Instructor. Ms. Huard says:
It was challenging, and as they are still teenagers, they will be part of a special program for this year 2008 – 2009. They will dive once each month and next year will be ready to dive worldwide!
