Try Dives
Try scuba diving with a £20 taster session
Would you like to try scuba diving? If you have always wanted to learn to scuba dive or are simply curious about scuba, a Try Dive with St Ives Sub Aqua Club is the perfect introduction. In the safe confines of the pool a qualified BSAC Instructor will introduce you to the thrill of breathing underwater for the very first time!
We can run Try Dives most weeks – all you will need is a swimming costume or shorts, and a t-shirt to wear in the water. We’ll provide the rest!
What to expect
-
We’ll introduce you to your Instructor who will tell you what will happen.
-
You can also chat to the rest of us about anything you like and have any questions answered.
-
Before your Try Dive you will be asked to read and complete a medical form.
-
Your Instructor will run you through a few basic safety procedures along with a brief explanation of your SCUBA equipment.
-
Once you are comfortable and happy, we can try swimming underwater and allow you to experience the feeling of weightlessness underwater.
What do I need to bring?
Just your normal swimming gear plus a t-shirt – this helps make wearing the dive gear more comfortable for most people.
​
Can anyone do a Try Dive?
Unfortunately we cannot provide try dives to anyone under the age of 18.
​
Can I bring a friend?
Of course! We can run several Try Dives on the same night. Or, if you have friends or family who would just like to watch, that’s fine too, just bring them along!
