Learning to SCUBA dive

The initial SCUBA training is based at the Stourport Leisure Centre on Sunday afternoons (3-6pm),
The basic training program is broken down into '10x pool lessons' coupled with around '10x theory lectures' spaced over a 10 week period
- - - - - - -
While we request students make every effort to attend each lesson the program is flexible to work around your availability & ability to master the skills, see here for - 'Info4new members'
- - - - - - -
After the basic training you will be asked to demonstrate your skills in a 'pool assessment' and pass a theory exam before we take you to an 'Open Water Site' and you take a dive for real !!!

After passing your pool assessment, exam, and an 'Open Water' assessment you gain your 1st SCUBA qualification :-)
