New CRHS NJROTC scuba class begins

Last evening, I had the honor of speaking at the opening night of the next class of scuba cadets at Crystal River High School’s Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (NJROTC). The program is set to run for eight weeks and upon successful completion, the cadets will be NAUI scuba certified.

As I stood in front of the eager cadets, I couldn’t help but be impressed by their commitment to learning and exploring the underwater world. The opportunity for these young people to become certified scuba divers is a rare one and I was honored to be a part of it.

I was again struck by the passion of the cadets and their commitment to their education and personal growth. The scuba program is a testament to the innovative and forward-thinking approach of the Crystal River High School NJROTC program.

I would like to extend a special thank you to Tom Gotterup, a local Rotarian, AES Board Member, and scuba instructor, and Don Markham of Crystal River Kayak Company and Dive for they involvement in the program and their dedication to the cadets.

As the cadets embark on their eight-week journey to become NAUI certified scuba divers, I am confident that they will not only learn a new skill but also gain a new appreciation for the underwater world. I look forward to following their progress and wish them all the best on their journey.
