Scuda Diving Camp

 
 

One of the aims of Naval Wing NCC is to expose the cadets to all the facets of Naval life, how ever demanding it may be. What more can a cadet ask for when such exposure comes to him through Scuba Diving.

The aim of this ten-day camp, held in Delhi, was to expose the cadets to the concept of under water diving. What one sees on National Geographic or Discovery channels paints a very rosy and an exciting picture. But to reach a position where an individual is capable of donning a Bassca or a Divertor - is a long, very hard and a physically demanding route. In the Indian Navy very few aspirants make it to the coveted diving badge, as the attrition/dropout rate is very high.

The cadets drawn from all districts of Andhra Pradesh were put into the grind by naval instructors. The relentless routine of morning PT followed by class instructions, diving, maintenance of diving sets kept the cadets extremely busy. The instructors were very happy with the enthusiasm exhibited by the boys and the boys all praise for the men training them. The camp also helped to imbibe the qualities of comradeship and discipline among the cadets.
