Scuba student achieves cavern certification and begins Intro to Cave
For Jack, a 19-year-old boarding student from Houston, his journey into the miraculousness has included a two-year stint as a student in the Scuba program at Farragut, expertly taught and run by Mr. Scott Davenport. Having completed the introductory courses throughout his first year at Farragut, Jack used the beginning of this academic calendar to obtain the necessary certifications to move into the high-risk, high-reward world of cavern and cave diving — which occurred over the winter break in Ginnie Springs and Peacock Springs, just north of Gainesville, Florida.
Mr. Davenport finished the Scuba Program for the 2014-15 school year by taking eight students on a diving expedition to Key Largo. On the trip that occurred at the beginning of May, the students saw an incredible amount of fish, including moray eels.
