Never dived before? 

Ever wondered what is like?

Why not book a Try Dive with us, experience weightlessness, take an entirely new look at the world. 

Click here to bring up our contact details to arrange a Try Dive session.

As we use the pool there is no need to worry about the weather.

Each Try Dive session lasts about 40 minutes.  Unlike some organisations you may have come across on your holidays, you will spend more than 5 minutes under water!  Your Try Dive session includes insurance, poolside tuition on basic diving techniques, the equipment and a scuba dive in the pool with a BSAC qualified instructor. We aim to make sure that you get maximum enjoyment from your first scuba dive. After which you receive the official BSAC Try Dive Certificate.

There is a fee of £10 which goes directly to the Club - this helps contribute towards the cost of using the pool and covers the use of SCUBA kit.  Your  BSAC instructor provides his/her time & experience for free which helps keep costs down.
