Anglesey Shore Diving, Saturday 25th October

This Saturday 25th October we are shore diving off the coast of Anglesey. The minimum qualification to attend this trip is BSAC Ocean Diver or equivalent, new members must have also completed a check dive with us. - The specific location has not yet been decided and will be chosen based off the weather on the day - Transport will be provided with fuel costs split between attendees. - Divers will require full kit and two tanks, which can be borrowed from the society. To register your interest, DM us here or get directly in touch with our President Ianto.

Already a qualified diver looking to continue exploring here at Lancaster? To help ensure safety for everyone involved, all new divers are required to undertake a check dive with one of our instructors. Our instructors will take you down for a leisurely dive at Capernwray, our local dive centre, where your basic underwater competency will be put to the test. Qualifications are welcome from any governing body, including BSAC, PADI, and SSI, amongst many others. Membership of the society is required to book this session, and anyone borrowing any equipment must pay the kit hire levy. The session itself is free, however divers will need to pay entrance to Capernwray (£23 if booked online via Capernwray's website). Book the session via the link in our bio!

Come and join us and give scuba diving a go! Under the expert guidance of one of our qualified BSAC instructors, you will get a twenty minute dive where you will get the opportunity to experience the exhilaration of being underwater for an extended period. Whilst there is an unfortunate lack of interesting wildlife in the sports centre pool, you will get to see first hand what it is like to swim, breathe, and move underwater using scuba gear. This is an easy, no-commiment way to see if diving is for you before enrolling on our BSAC Ocean Diver course. We will be running a quick talk after the dive also, where we will go over some of the technicalities of learning to dive and answer any questions you have regarding the training process. There may even be some free biscuits...  Some benefits of doing a try dive: - No prior scuba diving experience required - Not the strongest swimmer? No worries! Swimming underwater is very different to surface swimming; you’ll soon get the hang of it! - Provides an excellent opportunity to “try before you buy” - No LUSCUBA membership required - Those who complete a try dive will be eligible for a 15% reduction in their annual membership as a welcome gift. - Divers are asked to bring appropriate swimwear along with a t-shirt or rash vest for use underwater. A towel is also recommended. It is not possible to dive whilst wearing glasses, so those with short sightedness should wear contacts. If you have any questions regarding the event, please reach out to us via email or message us on Instagram Please note that all divers will be required to sign a Try Dive medical and responsibility declaration form before entering the water. If you have any questions regarding the event, please reach out to us via email or message us on Instagram.
