On November 4, 2005, our team traveled with the Jacques Cousteau Team to the EIU pool to visit Dr. Darding and Mr. Padovan. They showed us their diving equipment, told us how it works, and let us watch them use it. They also talked about the different things that they have seen while diving and even showed us some shells that the got from the ocean. We had a great time. Thanks Dr. Darding and Mr. Padovan!!!
Here are some pictures from our trip:
Dr. Darding shows the girls how to connect the mask to the oxygen tank.
Mr. Padovan wore his wet suit.
Dr. Darding shows us his special life vest that can fill with air or release it to make
a diver move up and down in the water.
Mr. Padovan talks about sea shells and other sea creatures that he has seen while diving.
Dr. Darding and Mr. Padovan were really good at answering our questions.
Mr. Padovan modeled how to use the equipment in the water,
The boys were really interested in how the vacuum cleaned the pool.
We were really good listeners!
We also asked lots of questions!
Here are the Carson and Cousteau teams taking a last picture with the divers.
THANKS AGAIN DR. DARDING AND MR. PADOVAN!!!
