Scuba Olympics, another great PADO event!

On March 27th close to 50 scuba divers competed in four "Olympic style" events at the Long Center in Clearwater Florida.
A balloon lift race, underwater bicycle race, a diver tow and a three legged race were the Olympic events. The money raised was donated to the Long Center's Adaptive swim team.

Pictured here are representatives of the Adaptive swim Team and their coaches receiving a check for $800.00 This money will be used for the team to participate in the Special Olympics.

A special thanks to the Long Center, our dive community and our volunteer divers for making this a fantastic day!
