Try dives introduce you to scuba diving with the club. We'll have a chat to you about the club and what we do and then put you in some SCUBA gear and take you into the pool. You'll be accompanied by a diving instructor and the pace of the experience will be down to you. Take your own time, stay relaxed and enjoy yourself - after all, that's what scuba diving is all about! Try dives cost £20. They take place in the Shell Center Pool, normally on Monday or Wednesday Evenings. |
