Interested in a try dive?

Pre-requisites:
  • Minimum 14 yrs of age

  • Can swim the length of a 50m pool without any buoyancy aids

Where, when and how much:
  • Usually we hold it at the Aldershot Garrison pool on a weekend evening

  • Costs £25 per person*

  • Let us know you are interested by filling out this form, and we will revert back to you with possible dates.

And then...

After we get back to you with a date and other details, we will provide you details for payment method. Your place is only confirmed after we have received the payment.

Once your place is confirmed we will send you:

  1. Joining instructions - this will tell you what to expect on the day

  2. BSAC Medical form - for you to be printed, filled & bought to the try-dive

  3. BSAC Photography consent form - for you to be printed, filled & bought to the try-dive

What to expect on the day
  • Club members will meet you at the reception where you will fill up some forms and get a briefing from our lead instructor.

  • You will be taken to the pool side to do a swim for the length of the pool unaided (50m).

  • Then your individual dive guide will give you a quick run-through of how to use the SCUBA equipment, and help you put it on and get comfortable.

  • When you feel ready, you will slowly submerge into the water in the shallow end (2m) and do a few things to be at ease, like breathing under water, feeling your buoyancy, etc.

  • You will then be taken on a dive across the length of the pool towards the deeper end (4m) where you can do some fun manoeuvres if you want to.

  • The water session will last about 30mins, and hopefully you will come out wanting more!
