Try Diving with ESAC
Have you ever thought about learning to scuba dive but were unsure how or where to get started? Would you like to have a taster before you go on holiday? Or do you just simply want to try something new?
Then a “Try Dive” with Ellon Sub-Aqua Club is for you.
We hold our Try Dives at the Ellon Community Campus over the winter. They include poolside tuition on diving techniques and equipment, followed by a one hour scuba diving session in the pool with a BSAC-qualified instructor.
If the diving bug bites, you can then go on to join ESAC and complete the BSAC Ocean Diver Course. This is an internationally-recognised qualification that is the stepping stone to a lifelong diving adventure, with the waters of the UK and around the world just waiting to be explored!
Before your Try Dive you will be asked to read and complete a medical form, please download to take a look at the Try Dive medical and responsibility declaration.
