We run regular 'Try-dive' nights where a qualified instructor will take you in the pool with scuba gear to let you get a feel for what it's like. It's safe, exciting and great fun! It's only £10 - or free if you're a member of the Central YMCA.

These evenings kick off at 7pm with a presentation about our club, including our affiliation to BSAC (the British Sub-Aqua Club), the training we offer, and the diving we do both in the UK and abroad. You'll then get in the pool for a short swim test (just a few lengths and a duck dive to retrieve an object from the deep end) followed by a snorkelling lesson, after which we get you into scuba gear and you'll experience what it's like to breathe underwater for the first time!

All you need to bring on the night is a towel, swimming attire, and an old T-shirt to help keep you a bit warmer in the water. If you're interested, send an e-mail to info@ydive.org.uk and we'll let you know when the next Try-dive night is scheduled (take a look in the diary on the right of the page to see if one is coming up soon - don't worry if not, we can always schedule one in).
