Kael Conrady (Valley Center, 2023) recently traveled to Lake Phoenix alongside fellow midshipmen from the U.S. Naval Academy to complete check-out dives, demonstrating the diving skills they had learned. While there, the group also explored the site’s flooded quarry.

After successfully completing the experience, Kael is now a certified Open Water diver and looks forward to building on this new skill by pursuing an Advanced Open Water qualification.
