| The Scuba Team was set up during our 1999 - 2000 training year to provide senior cadets with an optional activity that provided a meaningful, interesting real world experience they could use outside of cadets while also serving to maintain senior cadet interest in the cadet program by providing them with a challenging activity that builds self discipline and teamwork. |
