Sunday Catch Up

This week we had the deep pool on the Monday night, as there was a film unit in during the middle of the week. We took some Discover Scuba Divers and Open Water students in for the evening. One of our Open Water divers, Matthew, has just completed his Masters Documentary Film Degree and was filming the divers in the pool. Matthew will be filming some more footage in upcoming months, but for now check out his recent footage in the video below.

On Monday afternoon, Gary went to South Essex College, where the students did very well with their knowledge review and quick quiz and all passed! We will have another group of students starting after half term, so anyone from South Essex College that is interested in learning to scuba dive, please get in touch with Leanne Crouch, Sport Development Officer for South Essex College.

Because of the deep pool switch this week, on Tuesday evening the shop was open for people to pop in for some theory work and to have a chat!

Thursday evening we were at South Woodham Ferrers pool as usual and we had Writtle College in for their first session for Confined Water training! The students will be completing their Open Water qualification around May/June, in time for a trip to the Red Sea in July! Our 14 Writtle students were fantastic as everyone completed their 200m swim and 10 minute surface float that evening! Rhonda was also in the pool with the SEAL team as well as a few divers in for a play.

Throughout Friday we had several people book in for Dive Fest this year. There are only a few places left for Saturday’s dive and Sunday is already fully booked! But there is still shore diving available and many caravans for anyone that wants to join us that weekend!

We have also started taking bookings for the Farnes Islands weekend in October! It is £150pp for B&B and diving, however this is limited to 12 people, so get your booking in fast! However, there are still 10 places left for diving only, at the cost of £90pp.
