Try Dives
Do you want to try a new sport, something different and exciting?
Have you liked the thought of scuba diving but not sure if its for you or that you will like it?
Try dives are a great opportunity to have a taster to see if diving is something you would like to learn more about and experience breathing underwater.
Well, we can offer you all this and more! The first time you breathe underwater is unforgettable and you will be surprised just how much fun and easy it is.
We have been working closely with the Scouts and various other organisations, offering people the opportunity to 'try-a-dive'. We have various packages to suit all needs and can cater for groups. We are passionate about diving and are honoured to potentially introduce people to a new sport, experience or hobby and give you the opportunity to try something new, different and very exciting.
If you are interested, would like to find out more, or would like to buy a try-dive voucher please complete the try dive forms you can find at the bottom of this page, to get in contact email us at herefordsac@gmail.com or message our Facebook page.
We look forward to diving with you.
