Upon returning from a trip to the "Tidewater Area" of Virginia, where I had the opportunity to partake in the 5th annual "April Pools' Day" event, an aquatic
safety workshop, under the direction of Shaun Anderson, Aquatics Director
and Professor at Norfolk State University, I read that Ken Stewart, TAP Founder
and Executive Director and Ms. Kim Yarbrough, Southern Representative for the
National Association of Black Scuba Divers, Inc. recently experienced a wonderful and exciting expedition to South Africa, where they had the opportunity to SCUBA Dive and go on a Safari in the "Motherland." As Ken is a
member of the DAP Network and several of its Affiliated Groups, hopefully we
can get him to share some of his photos and experiences in South Africa.

The "April Pools' Day" event was excellent and well planned. Most areas of
Aquatics were represented with professionals in Boating, Canoeing, Kayaking,
Competitive Swimming, Recreational Swimming, Life Saving & Rescue, water
Aerobics,SCUBA diving, and Snorkeling. All Presentations and Demonstrations
emphasized Safety and Safe Practices. At the SCUBA diving station, I had the
pleasure of working with Errol Duplessis, CEO of Lake Rawlings Dive Resort,
Clifton Hicks, president of the "Black Dolphin Divers" of Richmond, Va. and
"Jerry," former NAUI Regional Representative, and graduate of the U.S. Naval
Academy in Annapolis, MD. Also in attendance was Regina Mobley, TV News
Commentator, who is on the verge of completing her Open Water Scuba Certification. This networking experience also provided me with the opportunity
to meet and greet Jayson Jackson, Creator of the DAP Network, Wanda Butts,
Founder & Executive director of the "Josh Project" and "FLOAT." and others.

Hey Ken,

Heard that you and Kim recently went down to South Africa to do a little diving and some Safari adventure. Tell us a little about it. If you have some pictures I'm sure a bunch of us would love to see em.

I believe you are right Ric. Scuba is only one of the interests of folks that are on the site. Remember that before we were divers most of us were swimmers or boaters or surfers or something else to do with Aquatics. So I think that the "Diversity" comes from the wide diaspora that is Aquatics.

Errol,
Thank you for your comments of concern! However, at this time, I do feel that they're somewhat premature. Personally, with the posting of other affiliated dive
groups, I don't see or anticipate any conflict of interest or duplication of purpose.
As far as "DAP" is concern, it is my understanding that this network was established to create an open forum to discuss and practice safety in and around the Aquatic Environment, with emphasis on the youth and their developmental skills. If we are all on the same page, then the more, the merrier!
This is what I believe to be the Focuse and Mission of DAP.

Thanks for your comments of Concern!

This should be the portal for all to join if interested in scuba. I noted there is one dive club already registered in the "Group" section, and may give a reason for every dive club in America to join DAP and put their club in this section. If someone wants to list a diving event, no problem, the individual member can list it. Careful DAP, stay focused on your mission!

Thanks to all of you who sent well wishes on my winning the AVSC Diver of the Year Award. But I am still learning how to use this site and cannot find where the posting of the announcement is. Can someone enlighten me? Corey
