Every week our qualified and experienced staff is available at the pool to provide a safe and comfortable environment for you to relax and enjoy your first moments of discovery in a new and exciting underwater world!
With a maximum depth of just on 3 meters, the swimming pool is ideal for you to discover the fantastic weightless feeling and the freedom found in scuba diving.

This allows you to relax and watch as the instructor gives a few instructions on what they will teach you over the next hour. After this we slip into the shallow waist deep water where you get a chance to breathe underwater for the first time. After learning a few easy skills at an easy pace and as and when everybody feels ready we then will work our way to the deep end of the pool. Once there we have some underwater games like Underwater Frisbee for you to enjoy.
Once you have found that you love it and you will, congratulations you're already on your way to being a qualified diver. Come join us the following week for your next exciting installment to becoming a PADI Openwater diver.
