On Sunday, about 25 individuals got to experience underwater "breathing" at the McCoy Natatorium pool via Discover Scuba, a program conducted by Nittany Divers. Participants were given a brief lecture regarding the equipment and then with the help of the Nittany Divers they donned their gear and hit the pool. Once in the water they were able to swim to the floor of the pool and play with items such as checkers and a torpedo-shaped rocket.
