About Us

We run Try Dives at any of our Thursday evening training sessions, but because of the availability of experienced divers and instructors you do need to book in advance. For more details or to make a booking e-mail us at contact@busheydivers.org

Not just for you!

We can normally accommodate up to 4 divers on a Try dive at the same time, subject to dive guides being available.
Not interested in diving yourself but you have a partner who is? Why not book them on a Try Dive?

Video & Photographs

If you want us to we can even video underwater part of your try-dive as a memento. Talk to Katie for more details.

Sadly because of child protection rules, we are unable to allow parents to take photographs during the try dive-session.

Try Dives

Try Dives are an excellent way of finding out how much fun scuba-diving can be. You get to meet other divers, try on the equipment and spend some time with an experienced diver/instructor in a heated swimming pool discovering the pleasures of breathing underwater. No dangers from shipping.. no sharks... why wait until you are on holiday when you can experience scuba diving now.

What happens on a try dive?

Try Dive in Session

Firstly you will meet your instructor at our clubhouse where you will be fitted out with all the scuba equipment you will need. You then visit the local pool where you will be given a pool side briefing before enjoying a 30 min. one-to-one session with an experienced diver or instructor in the pool. Afterwards you will return to the clubhouse where you are able to chat with your guide about your experiences and meet other members of our club. and you will receive a certificate to complement your underwater experience.

But am I too old/unfit?

Are you over the age of 14? Can you swim? Do you have reasonable health? If you can answer yes to all of these then you can join us on a try dive. You do not have to be super fit, and we have divers within the club who are still diving actively in their 60s and 70s.


Is it expensive?

Try Dive in Session

a Try Dive costs £13. Dive training itself costs a little more, but is possibly not as expensive as you think - during training you are able to hire most of the equipment you need from us,and as we have our own dive boats you will not be paying commercial rates. And for diving in the UK BSAC membership offers insurance and a monthly dive magazine.

Okay I'm interested What do I need ?

A swimming costume and a towel. All of the rest of the equipment you will need we can supply as part of your try dive experience.

How do I book?

Simply e-mail or call (07413 224 234) our members member, Katie, to arrange your Try dive. You will also need to bring your payment (£13), a medical self declaration form, and if you're under the age of 18 you need to get your parent or guardian to sign the form. Katie will then contact you, and arrange your introduction to the underwater world. See you soon!
