BSAC START YOUR ADVENTURE
BSAC TRY SCUBA
A typical Try Dive involves poolside tuition on diving techniques and equipment, followed by a scuba dive in a swimming pool with Bill our BSAC instructor to make sure you get maximum enjoyment from your first scuba dive.
A Try Dive can help you get a real feel for scuba diving before you book a course. It also gives you the chance to meet us.
