Couples Massage Tuesday
February 21, 7-8:30 pm $35 per couple (must enroll with a partner)

You and your partner will learn and practice massage techniques that enhance relaxation and wellness. One of the main goals of this course is to teach ways to reduce the stress in your partner's body without taking a toll on your own. All techniques are simple, yet effective and preformed with participants fully clothed. You will also learn effective ways to breathe in order to reduce tension levels and be able to try out massage tools. No previous massage experience is necessary! Class size is limited to ensure that each couple gets personal attention. Wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing for the class.

EQUIPMENT TECHNIQUES
This is a great time to take care of your equipment!

This is the same class we held last month; it was very well received and informed the students of how to truly care for their equipment. We want to make this class available to everyone so we can set it up by appointment with at least two students in each class. We are going to also have a pool session with this class where you will be able to try out the Chute 3 BCD and V-12 Split Fins. We will demonstrate how to assemble a well equipped Total Dive System. Included in the class will be basic field maintenance so you will be able to “save a dive” with the use of a save-a-dive kit.
