Underwater Enchantment

Underwater Enchantment

There is nothing more relaxing then the feeling of weightlessness, breathtaking scenery everywhere you look, cool water all around you and oh yeah, 100 feet to the surface! It’s SCUBA Diving and there’s nothing like it. The bizarre the beautiful and the unique dwell in the sea. Dolphins, lobsters, eels, starfish, sharks, sting rays, octopus, barracuda, turtles and thousands of colorful fish not to mention spectacular underwater plants and coral will amaze and surprise you! You will always remember the first time you breathe under water, the air effortlessly fills you lungs as you sit at the bottom of a pool, breathing. Taking your skills to the ocean is one of the most rewarding experiences as you see a world that is completely different from the one you live in everyday. Become a SCUBA diver and experience the wonderment!

“SCUBA diving is sensual. To breathe underwater is one of the most fascinating and peculiar sensations imaginable. Breathing becomes a rhythmic melody of inhalations and exhalations. The cracks and pops of fish and crustaceans harmonize with the rhythmic chiming of the bubbles as you exhale. Soon, lungs act as bellows, controlling your buoyancy as you achieve weightlessness. And, as in your dreams, you are flying. Combine these otherworldly stimuli and you surrender completely to the sanctuary of the underwater world.” - TEC CLARK, forward, Karen Berger's SCUBA Diving

To Scuba:

SCUBA diving is easy to learn, there are classes available in almost every city in America. Most classes take two day plus a weekend certification trip. Almost everyone can do it the minimum age of a diver is 10 year old and even people with physical challenges often become divers. The only swimming requirements are that you must be able to swim 200 yards and tred/float in water for 10 minutes, trust me; it’s easier than it sounds.

Frankenstein’s Blood1 Part Apple Schnapps3 Parts Apple Vodka3 Parts Lime Sherbet

6 Part Sprite or alternative

Cool and Scary additions to your punch.

Frozen Hand. Take a plastic or latex glove and fill with water, make sure punch is SUPER cold before you stick hand in or it will melt right away (unfortunately it will still melt quickly but worth it the initial presentation).

Frozen Grapes: Eye Balls that keep things cool!

Dry Ice. Keep that sucker misting all night with a block of dry ice in the bottom of your punch, it doesn’t take much and it’s a super cool effect!

Java Jive

Coffee, I had my first sip when I was 12 during social hour at church, delicious, I’ve never looked back. Coffee is much more than a morning pick-me-up it’s a routine so instilled into our everyday lives so much so that it’s hard to imagine a day without it. Does this mean we’re all addicts? – Maybe, probably, but I can only speak for myself in saying I don’t plan on stopping any time soon, and do plan on loving every sip of it for a long, long time to come. This Twist is all about coffee: its history, its cultural influence, its industry, its awesomeness (well 90% will be about its awesomeness). Learn all about the stuff that fills your cup.
