Scuba Diving Taster Session

If you have ever fancied trying scuba diving, this is your perfect opportunity. We are running scuba diving taster sessions in Freemans Quay Leisure Centre (near Gala Theatre) on the evening of Wednesday 17th January. The session includes a briefing to familiarise yourself with the scuba diving equipment, and some key skills for breathing and communicating underwater, and then a 20-30 minute experience with the scuba equipment in the controlled environment of a swimming pool. A qualified instructor will be on hand to supervise the session and to assist with any issues encountered underwater, so it is a really safe experience. You can have the opportunity to learn a few diving skills whilst underwater, play some fun games with underwater torpedos, or just swim around in a weightless environment.

Taster dives are perfect if you have never tried breathing underwater before and want to see what its like, or if you are thinking of learning to dive with us and want to give it a go before you commit to the open water course. No previous scuba experience is necessary to take part, and we provide all equipment - just bring your own towel and swimming costume!

The session is a bargain at £10 per person. Why not get a group of your mates to all sign up and try diving together? (max 8 people, subject to availability) You can sign up and purchase a ticket here on the DSU website. Feel free to get in touch with us via scuba.diving@durham.ac.uk if you have any questions.

*T&C apply. Diving subject to medical questionnaire for participant safety. We reserve the right to cancel or rearrange your dive if medical or other conditions are not met. If you wish to look at the medical questionnaire prior to participating, it is available here: https://www.padi.com/documents/padi-courses/2.1.5%20rstc%20medstate%20v201.pdf  Answering yes to any question may result in having to get a GP to sign the form to say you are fit to dive. If you have any questions, please send us an email.
