Congratulations to Katie Shoemaker on earning her Open Water Diver certification today! Katie is one of the 13 students in the Union College scuba class this semester. Because of a scheduling conflict (she leaves for her home in Ohio on Friday), Katie did her open water dives yesterday (Sunday, May 3rd) and today. She did a great job and especially enjoyed the compass navigation part of the dives.
One highlight of the day that both Katie and her instructor enjoyed happened on the surface of the lake. They were putting their fins on in the water in preparation for their second dive of the day when a bald eagle came swooping out of the sky about 40 yards away. It flared its wings, stuck its legs out ahead of it with talons spread wide, and snatched up a fish. Then it flew away, landing in a tree on the far side of the lake to enjoy its meal.
Again, congratulations, Katie!
