Anne Frame submitted the press release.

This informative and picturesque program will be presented by the Odell Library Friends, on Tuesday, October 22, 2024, beginning at 6:30 p.m., in the Program Room. Tanner and Suellen Girard will show slides of the various places they have enjoyed, complete with multi-colored fish.  This program is free to the public.

When I asked Suellen why they took up scuba diving, the answer was, “After being married for 30 years, we finally had a honeymoon.”

They discovered scuba diving on that trip and have been enjoying it for the past 18 years.

Scuba diving is underwater diving, using breathing equipment with a limited oxygen supply.  Without hesitation, Suellen exclaimed, “The Phillippines is our favorite place to dive.”  In fact, around the world are many beautiful places to dive:  The Galapagos Islands, the Bahamas, Fiji Islands, Belize, and more.

One of their favorite places is in what is called black water, meaning at night.  They also enjoy diving in bodies of waters with reefs.  As with any dive, the diver must be wise and conservative when diving in, and then returning to the boat.

Little does the general public know about, or have seen, the beautiful creatures that lie within the sea.  Come and join us for this delightful and informative program.
