If you’re thinking about learning to scuba dive but are not sure where to start (or even if it’s for you), then you’ve come to the right place!
TRY DIVES
We offer Try Dives where you can experience using full scuba kit in a safe pool environment with one of our experienced instructors. We will provide all the equipment you need, although you may find it useful to bring your own mask and fins if you have them. Try Dives are £20 payable on booking.
We run our Try Dives in January to March each year, aiming to find a cohort of up to 4 Ocean Diver Trainees for the coming year.
Try Dive dates for 2025 are: 5th February, 19th February, 5th March and 19th March. These will be evening sessions at Sedbergh swimming pool. There are limited places available, and we’re now taking bookings! Contact Debbie on 07814 499791 to enquire.
If you enjoy your Try Dive, and want to progress, then you may have the option of signing up for our next Ocean Diver Course. Read the account of our member Becky’s experiences of training throughout Covid restrictions.
OCEAN DIVER TRAINING
We have one intake of Ocean Diver trainees each year timed to make the most of summer training and diving. Normally starting theory and pool lessons in March/April progressing to Open water in May/June.
We are looking for Ocean Diver trainees who not only want to learn to dive, but also want to be involved in our club once qualified. Imagine diving with seals at the Farne Islands, or coming on a club trip to Egypt, both trips that we enjoyed last year. Have a look at our events pages to see what’s happening this year.
