London Scuba Diving Pool Sessions

Latest News - Dive Kingston/ Dive Wimbledon

4 -5 June
All boys!! It's a long time since we had a class consisting of all boys. Usually the class is 50:50 or more women than men.
Ian, Luke, Craig and Matt put aside their disappointment and got stuck into the Open Water Referral scuba diving course with relish. They were all extremely comfortable in the water with superb buoyancy. New Zealander Adam(Whales) helped out after years working for Cairn Dive Centre, the biggest PADI scuba diving school in Australia.
On the Sunday they were joined by Karl who is already a Scuba Diver but wants to complete the full Open Water course in the Red Sea. David Sketchley returned from Sweden to lend a hand.
Gary and Chloe jumped in the pool with Bob to complete their pre-holiday refreshers.

Another Wednesday evening and time for another Rescue course.
Dale, Casper, Caroline and Rob all started the new Rescue diver course with Module 1 of the theory followed by the first 2 pool skills. Arne acted as assisstant and was unsuccessfully drowned several times while Dave looked on.
Afterwards we joined Caroline and Mandy at The Putney Paige for a quite beer and a chat about the Dahab holiday. Mandy has decided we need to organise a trip to the Maldives for next year. Sounds like a good plan to me.

Zoe and Barbara completed their diving pool sessions for the PADI Open water course while Matthew took a refresher course with Roger.
22 May
Back from Dahab and straight back into diving.

In the evening Chris, Brian and Dilys practised for their qualifying dives for the Open Water dive course.

11 May

Our last Wednesday before the Dahab trip and everybody came along to get in some last minute practise and collect their equipment for the holiday. Arne, Chris(I'm going on holiday so I thought I'd get a cold), Maddy, Louise, Mandy, James and Arne all played while Jenny completed a refresher with Duncan.
Shaun Gallop took his 2 friends for a refresher session.
Next stop... sunshine and warm water

7 - 8 May

Our first trip to Wraysbury for the year. A bit chilly I thought but Stuart and Louis had a great time.
We completed 3 Open Water qualifying dives on the Saturday and one on the Sunday morning. Both the guys did really well and I am sure they will go on to be good divers. Stuart is off to Egypt on Holiday while Louis will continue to dive with us and also asked when he could start his Advanced course.
