ABSTRACT:
An underwater obstacle course target hoop for use in underwater buoyancy training includes a plurality of hollow tubular members having open opposite ends, a plurality of connector members interfitted with all but two adjacent opposite ends of the tubular members, and a pair of separate end caps respectively attached to and interfitted with the two adjacent ends of the adjacent pair of the tubular members so as to define an escape gap between the two adjacent ends of the tubular members for preventing entanglement of a diver with the hoop. The tubular members and connector members define upper and lower portions of the target hoop. The tubular members of the lower portion of the hoop contain a plurality of apertures for permitting entry of water into the lower portion of the hoop when submerged in water. An elastic cord can be employed within the interfitted tubular and connector members which is sufficiently stretchible to retain the members in interfitted relation but permit the members to be pulled apart and the hoop thereby collapsed into a compact stack for transport and storage.
