Mathias nods, glad that the equipment will fit Claire. The mask is easy enough to adjust, he knows they'll have no real problems there and if she wants a wetsuit, the box is usually good enough to provide. They'll have to start using one tank anyway, so he isn't worried about making sure that fits just yet.
"Not as small as me," Sam says to Claire. "I'm short."
Mathias laughs a little and nods his agreement. "But you will get tall. Your dad was very tall."
"Like you," Sam says, then wanders toward her crayons and colouring books that are spread out in the main room.
Turning back to Claire, he smiles and says, "The equipment fits, that's the first step. Before we actually go diving I'll have to teach you a few safety techniques. A way to find your regulator if you drop it, because the mask will make it difficult to see much side to side." Back home, he knows there are courses that people are required to take, certificates that they earn, but although he has his, he doesn't feel qualified to start telling people when they're certified. All he can do is teach them to be safe.
