Diva Diver 

We all have met one, dove with one, or taught one……the infamous Diva Diver. This is my latest. When I teach, I try to let the students know the dangers they will face when diving in the real world. One of the skills, habits I try to reinforce is the tendency for a student to wear their mask on their forehead (distressed diver) instead of around their neck. My Diva Diver was forever forgetting and wearing it on her forehead and I would ease over toward her in the pool and flick it off her forehead and down it would go to the bottom. Then, of course, she would have to retrieve it. I told her that if she were diving in the ocean in 100ft of water and her mask was washed off her head by a wave, her day of diving was over with no mask. Didn’t sink in at all. During our Open Water Dives and subsequent certification I sent and then followed the students out to the buoy that was over the platform. And there she was…..mask on her forehead, laughing and having a good ol time. So I called out to her “ Why is your mask on your forehead?!!”. In typical Diva Diver fashion I was told:  
“BECAUSE YOU CAN’T REACH ME FROM THERE!!” 
Sometimes you have to learn from your students 
Congratulations Crystal, and enjoy!
