Try Dive only £10
The best way to see if you like the sensation of being underwater and want to learn to dive is to come along to a Try Dive session at Ironmonger Row Baths near Old Street.
Next dates: Thursday evenings, 4 and 11 May.
At 7pm you will receive an introduction to scuba kit and at 8pm you will get in the pool with an instructor. This is a great value evening out and, if you decide to learn now, we will have a seven-week course for beginners that will start on 24 May.

Why do we love diving so much?
- It is exciting –seeing marine animals, wrecks, reefs and seascapes.
- Relaxing – floating weightless underwater helps unwind from day to day stresses.
- Peaceful – the silent world, and floating among fish can make you feel calm and serene.
- Challenging – diving is an adventurous sport and there are skills that take perseverance to learn.
- Educational – in addition to ‘diving’ you inevitably learn about other things like weather, physics, biology, maritime history, seamanship, marine ecology – and it is all fascinating stuff.
- Really good fun – scuba is a social sport, organised as a group activity with everyone having a buddy for the dive. It is enjoyable to both plan and to do and also makes for great conversation afterwards.
- Nearest thing most of us will get to ‘flying’ – from hanging motionless in mid water to whooshing along a seascape in a current – yes, you can fly!
- It takes us places we have never been before – from the Scillies to the Shetlands in the UK or from the Med to the Maldives in international waters – your holiday destinations are often new and exciting.
- Immersing in another element – scuba diving is the nearest thing at most of us will get to simply entering into a whole new world.
