As I was picking up Kye from school today he shared:
Kye: "Today was a messy art day."
Mom: "Have fun?"
Kye: "Not so much."
Mom: "Not an art guy?"
Kye: "No, I am way interested in scuba diving."
Mom: "What do you find interesting about scuba diving?"
Kye: "Swimming and figuring out stuff."
Mom: "What kind of stuff would you figure out?"
Kye: "You know, like how fish sleep with their eyes open. Stuff like that."
Mom: "That is interesting stuff."
Later in the bathtub:
Mom: "You want to meet someone who scuba dives?"
Kye: "I'm still a kid Mom."
Mom: "Yeah but you could still explore the idea."
Kye: "Do you know anyone who scuba dives?"
Mom: "Not that I know of, but I could ask."
Kye: "I am learning about penquins now."
Mom: "Interesting."
Kye: "I want to go to Antartic."
Mom: "What would you do there?"
Kye: "See how penquins slide on thier bellies."
Kye: "I think I would like to be a scientist after I become a scuba diver."
Mom: "There are scientists that are scuba divers."
Kye: "What do they do?"
Mom: "Study the ocean and all the living things there."
Kye: "Hmm..."

Hey, Erin- Uncle Jim is a scuba diver. He's gone over 100 feet deep. Kye would enjoy talking to him and seeing equipment close up. Love, Papa.
that's Great Uncle Jim.
That would be awesome!
I wonder why these young kids are obsessed with scuba diving. My coworker has a daughter about Kye's age who says that when she grows up she wants to move to Hawaii and become a scuba diver... I'm sensing a flood of biology majors at college in about 15 years!
Not sure why the obsession, but when I was discussing the fact that my uncle was a scuba diver, Alea's ears perked up. Alea is the best swimmer in the family (that says a lot since I have been a life guard) but she has a natural talent in the water. She spends more time under water than not.
Anyway, is there a way she could get a chance to try it, Uncle Jim?
I do not know enough about scuba to know whether you need to be a certain age or not.
Let me know!
