Beneath the waves, a lost world of adventure and discovery awaits the pioneer. Scuba diving is the ultimate way to experience this underwater planet and its spectacular marine life. The lesson, lasting for approximately 1 hour, will include using diving equipment and diving techniques, such as mask clearing and exchanging underwater signals.

A try dive is perfect for people who want to try the sport without spending unnecessary amounts of time and money. Scuba diving is a great way of keeping fit by increasing lung capacity, relaxing the muscles and the mind and can even burn up to 450 calories an hour.

The BSAC is the governing body of scuba diving and snorkelling in the UK, with over 1500 BSAC Clubs (branches) across the UK. BSAC qualifications are recognised around the world. Proper training is recommended and can be arranged through the BSAC. People with medical conditions are advised to consult their GP or a BSAC instructor before diving.

Following on from a Try-Dive, participants can take the BSAC Ocean Diver course at a BSAC Branch or School. The BSAC Ocean Diver qualification will help you witness first-hand the phenomena of the underwater world, its coral reefs, shoals of fish, turtles and underwater wrecks.
