The teens learn about snorkeling and sea survival

May 16, 2008 6:08 PM

If the previous training days were devoted to land survival, today’s lessons were all about surviving in water. First up were skin diving and snorkeling. The teens have to know how to flutter kick by the end of the day. Ejay, Nan and Robi were the first to demonstrate this with the young man from Davao having problems with his knee bending. Ejay also seemed to be executing the technique wrong and got easily tired. Robi was the only housemate acknowledged by the officers who executed the move the right way.

The girls had the most difficulty in the water activity. Nicole dived in a certain part of the pool and hit her head on a bamboo pole when she emerged from the water. Priscilla was also given special attention since she’s scared to dive. An AF officer assisted the Deaf Dreamer since she seemed to panic whenever she goes underwater.

The teens were then taught how to perform underwater rescue. Everyone enjoyed the activity and was able to accomplish the task smoothly. They were also taught the floater technique where they can use their pants as a floating device. After blowing air into their pants, these were then tied together and hung around their necks. The teens could now safely swim to shore with no worries on sinking.

The teens spent most of the day accomplishing these tasks but Nicole had yet another lined up for her. When the In-Chick from Cebu came out from the confession room, she instantly mimicked anyone she came across with. A wooden frame was placed in the living room to serve as some sort of prop for Nicole’s mirror task. Is a sacrifice or punishment for Nicole? Find out her story and if the teens will succeed in their weekly task later on Uber!
