Like tickling a bear without losing an arm, the art of breathing underwater requires years of practice and dedication. Introduce your lungs to aqueous awareness with today’s Groupon: for $50, you get one scuba experience class at Harry's Dive Shop (a $100 value).
With more than 40 years experience in the scuba-diving business, Harry's dedicated scuba instructors guide wannabe wet-suiters through scuba essentials over the course of 90 moistened minutes. For the scuba experience, students need only bring a swimsuit and towel; they'll be outfitted with all the necessary diving equipment on site. Open to divers as young as eight years old, these classes take place in an on-site heated pool, where dive masters teach basic gear functions, underwater breathing, proper safety precautions, and dolphin etiquette. Students will also have free time during the class to flipper about with the instructor.
Though the class won't churn out scuba divers certified to dive alone, most students will depart with the certification required to sit in really big puddles.. Harry's offers flexible class times throughout the week including Saturdays; phone ahead to schedule some goggle-time with the dive masters.

The Groupon Guide To: Skeletons
In Mexico, today begins the celebration of Día de los Muertos —Day of the Dead. Families gather to revere departed loved ones, and everyone surrounds themselves with delicious candied skulls and other festive skeleton imagery, making Day of the Dead the safest time of year to encounter a skeleton. But what should you do if you meet a skeleton on one of the other 249 days of the year?
- Lull the skeleton to sleep by playing a soothing xylophone melody on its ribcage.
- Trick the skeleton into pursuing you into a dog park, where he will be hastily disassembled and buried.
- If famed film director Tim Burton is around, he will likely become so enraptured by the skeleton that he will try to marry it.
- Donate the skeleton to a local medical college so that students can use it for their annual bone fight.
- Trick the skeleton into being eaten by a different skeleton—he's clearly starving!
