Scuba Try Dives
Over 40 boys from the top three years took part in a trial dive having had their interest sparked by Mr Atherton’s lecture before the first exeat.
12 instructors were in the pool from 2-7pm with a ratio of one instructor to two boys, teaching them breathing technique, signs for communication under water, safety skills and the rudiments of diving.
It was an enormous success with many boys saying that they hope to do it another time.
“It felt really weird to be able to breathe underwater” C Kirkman
“When I took my flippers off it felt like my feet had come off!” J Hardy
“It was just brilliant” R Lee-Browne
