A taster session introduces beginners to the fundamentals of scuba diving in a calm, controlled pool environment. Participants learn to breathe underwater, practise basic movement, and gain confidence with equipment. This is an ideal first step for children and adults considering further diving courses.
Participants begin with a briefing covering essential safety procedures, equipment introduction, and basic underwater communication. Instructors demonstrate mask, fins, buoyancy devices, and regulator use poolside before entry.
In-water exercises focus on breathing technique, mask clearing, buoyancy control, and simple finning movements. Participants practise moving and positioning themselves while instructors provide personalised support and guidance.
The session ends with structured games and challenges that reinforce learned skills. Instructors offer feedback to help participants understand what to focus on for future progression, leaving them confident and excited for next steps.
Sessions take place in a heated indoor pool at Elsdon Avenue, Seaton Delaval, Whitley Bay. Calm, controlled water conditions are ideal for first-time divers to develop essential skills without the challenges of open water.
Families and beginners benefit from easy access and professional supervision throughout. The facility ensures participants receive structured guidance while enjoying a safe and welcoming environment.
No previous diving experience is required. Participants should be comfortable in water and able to swim short distances. Parental consent is required for children under 18.
Instructors pace the session according to each participant’s confidence, providing additional support where needed. Emphasis is placed on learning skills safely while having a positive experience.
