Congratulations are in order to our newest Rec 1 graduate

It's my pleasure to announce that Kelli Norman completed her Recreational 1 course this past weekend. I had a privilege to assist her with transition from "I'm really nervous to go under water in a pool" to "I thought you are going to pull an s-drill and I was READY!" in a course of last month and a half. We did our ocean dives at Casino Point on Catalina and at couple of sites around Palos Verdes peninsula. Kelli did put a lot of work and dedication into this course and I'm confident she will continue to grow into an excellent diver.

Kelli, welcome to So Cal diving community. I'm sure you will get along with Chick Brigade really well.

Maciek, I had the pleasure of diving with Jamie when she and Nick were up here recently. If you have done nearly as well with Kelli, she's got a fantastically solid foundation for any diving fun she has in mind!
