Exciting Training Opportunity
July 25th, 2009
I am excited to announce that Quest and ALERT Aquatics have joined forces to bring world-class SCUBA training to Quest students. During the last week of Quest, students have the option of taking part in a WASI/NASE certified Open Water Diver course. This certification is recognized worldwide and allows students to rent gear and dive with a dive buddy at nearly any SCUBA dive location.
Your son already has experienced some of the excitement of diving when the ALERT Aquatics divemasters took them for an exploratory dive. The next step is to take the Open Water Diver course during Quest.
Dates & Pricing
The Quest Open Water Diver course takes place August 1 through August 6, 2009. It takes place during Quest, so there is no need to change transportation arrangements. The program cost is $295 which covers all of the books, tuition, dive costs, and gear rental. Students will have a little over a day of classroom time, and then several different dives in exciting locations.

Quest River Trip!
August 4th, 2008
The Quest group will be leaving today for a three day camping trip on the beautiful Lower Mountain Fork river in southeastern Oklahoma. After a short drive to the campsite, the students will spend the next few days relaxing, enjoying fun activities with each other, having campfire devotionals, and completing a four hour canoe trip down the river. The canoe trip features Class 1 and Class 2 rapids which will pose a fun, exciting, and safe challenge to the students, who have been studying canoeing for the past three weeks.
Wednesday afternoon, the Quest group will then travel back to the IAA campus for the final two days of Quest.
Questions or calls during the Quest river trip can be directed to the Quest office at (903) 636-2000 ext. 2777. If you have a son on the trip, he will not have access to any phones and will be unable to call home.
If you are interested in coming to the final banquet and graduation ceremony, you must register with Stacey Smith by Tuesday, August 5, 2008 at 5:00 PM. You can call her at (903) 636-2000 ext. 2101.
