Scuba Diving Experience

“Scuba Diving Experience”

Written on: 15/07/2012

Myself and my family, (Wife & 3 kids, 17, 15 & 11) went to the session organised at Slough Swimming pool as it drops to 3 metres. We were the only ones on our session and were made to feel comfortable immediately with the instructors.

We had a 25-30 minute talk through the basics and the signs for communication and it was paced equally fine for all the age groups in our party. Not wanting to waste any time we were soon strapped up and in the pool. We put into practice our basic skills such as bouyancy, removing & replacing our mask underwater, as well as our oxygen regulators.

My wife didn't feel comfortable underwater with the regulator so one of the instructors left with her and she then continued to be involved by using a snorkel and mask from the surface.

Then it was off for a tour of the pool! We were in the water for at least 50 minutes and it was brilliant, over too quickly but it made us aware of what was involved and confirmed my determination to take it up as a sport.

We changed and then were presented with a certificate each and details for taking further lessons - no hard sell or anything like that.

Definitely recommend the experience to anyone.
