What to expect

Meet us at 8am at our reception for registration and kit issue.

Our instructor will then run a thorough site and dive briefing, and will plan a dive in keeping with your experience level. If you have only dived on holiday in thinner wetsuits, you'll spend some time re-weighting for the thicker wetsuits we use in the UK. 

Once everything is adjusted to suit, the dive will start on our graduated training platforms, so that you become comfortable with the diving conditions. You'll then go on a fun dive with the instructor, and if you're in luck, you'll see some lovely freshwater fish, such as pike, carp, perch and roach. 

Once the dive is over and kit handed back, we'll log the dive with you, and hopefully make a plan for continued local diving with us, on some of our club days and trips.
