Who Takes Jump Off the Boat?
There are times when you want to be comfortable on boats and jumping in. Naturally, we teach the entire progression from scratch. You’re eligible if you’ve taken the Essentials 1 and 2 courses (formerly Beginning and Next Step) and can jump into deep water in a pool (have done so at least five times). Ocean 101 and Deep Water Play are excellent precursors.
Wondering why Anna is by herself in the water at the left? Because she’s advanced that far. It’s no longer frightening for her.
What Is the Course?
We begin by reviewing, then jumping into deep water in a pool. All the nonphysical components of overcoming fear and becoming fully in control are covered. Step by step your confidence increases. When this class follows Deep Water Play, students have spontaneously begun to tread water in this course. On Day 2, we spend the day on the boat. Jump into a peaceful cove and rest. Start on a tether. Then, out to the Gulf to jump into the blue, weather permitting. Learn by feeling safe and having fun. Lunch is on the boat, on MSSA.
