Aquaventure Scuba Club, Bristol. "Scuba Diving Bristol sinks to new levels of professionalism"

Discover Scuba Diving (AKA A Try Dive)

Learning to dive really is easy & fun but if its one of those things that you've always wanted to do but aren't really sure about it then this mini-course is for you: try out diving to make up your mind without major expense and under expert supervision.

Enrole in a PADI Discover Scuba Diving experience (also known as a 'Try Dive'), which is conducted in the pool over a two hour session , and learn some of the easy scuba diving skills whilst experiencing the feeling of weightlessness under the water. Under the supervision of one of the clubs PADI instructors you can complete the first module of the full open water course for a small outlay prior to really taking the plunge, metaphorically & financially. At the end of the session you will know how the basic scuba kit operates and how to wear it, how to breath correctly underwater and some diving skills such as clearing your regulator and maintaining neutral buoyancy, in fact actually diving, right from the start.

After completing the Try-Dive if you decide to continue with the full course then this initial experience credits towards the PADI Open Water Diver course!

Interested? if so then the club to arrange a convenient date to start, all you will need is a swimming costume & T shirt to wear in the pool.

The kids can also join in with a formal and recognised snorkeling course from the age of 6 yrs & real diving with the Bubblemakers experience or the full on PADI Seal Team from the age of 8 yrs. These are great experiences for kids and are really recommended.

We tailor each experience to your needs from fun games such as underwater egg and spoon races for the kids to a structured skill development session for those thinking of progressing to the full open water course. Let us know what you want and we will plan and deliver it for you.
