What will I do during a Discover Scuba Diving Session?
Meet us at the Dive Centre prior to the pool session where you will meet your instructional team for an introductory talk, be fitted and introduced to the equipment you’ll be using as well as the all important safety briefing and what you can expect.
After arriving at our local pool facilities - Oakham School Pool, Kilburn Road, Oakham you will enter the water ready for your scuba adventure. You will spend a minimum of an hour underwater but maybe the entire two hours if you can make it last that long, and we think you’ll enjoy every minute!
We will help you through every step of your adventure. Our staff will help you to put on your SCUBA gear and guide you into the water where you’ll have the chance to dive down up to 3 metres.
