On Location Pools

• Depending on the size of the pool we can include up to 15 dive pupils in 1 session with their Dive Instructors and Guides. Divers tend to rotate in and out of the water after 30mins/45mins

Medical, Statement of Safe Diving Practices and Liability Forms

For all scuba-related activities at the academy, divers (aged 18 years and above) or their parents/guardians (aged 18 years and below) must sign our Medical, Statement of Safe Diving Practices and Liability Forms, which are standard forms from the WRSTC and standard for PADI/SSI training bodies.

In order to protect clients we ensure that all divers sign a photography release form alongside their medical statement, liability release and statement of understanding safe practices. At the event we take both onland and underwater photos and create a bespoke, private, online album at the Sunken Dreams Photorgaphy eShop.

For Try Dive Pop Up Pool or On Location, outdoor Try Dive Pool

Wetsuits

• We provide a range of wetsuit sizes that should cater for a range of divers from 6 years of age and above. The exposure suits are on rotation throughout the event.

Hoods, gloves, boots

• Neoprene dive hoods, gloves and boots are available if weather conditions dictate that it is more suitable to use them.

Towels

• We provide a range of quick dry towels for clients to use afterwards.

Please note: Divers will need to bring their own swimming gear to wear underneath the wetsuit as well as a warm change of clothes.

The Try Scuba program is the best way to try scuba diving for the first time. Divers will be in confined water and well looked after by their instructor, so they can enjoy those first unforgettable breaths underwater and experience the magic of scuba diving.

At the end of this short introduction, you will have be registered with the Academy and with SSI giving divers and their families further opportunities to learn and record their adventures.

Endless scuba diving adventures are waiting for the young divers and this course is where it all begins. Start today!

For all divers we create courtesy paper certificates for their Dive Experiences. If more preferable, we can create digital versions to be emailed to the client.

Pop Up Try Dive Shark Tank

Weather is definitely a contributing factor to the flow of an outdoor event making it more suitable for the months of May to September.

Enjoyment, safety and comfort are key for all the divers participating.

Should extreme weather play a major factor in the event presentation, we can make adjustments to run just the Exhibition Desk up to 72 hours before the event.

On Location Pools

Events at indoor pools can be organized year round.

Outdoor pools usually fall subject to the same conditions as the Pop Up Try Dive Shark Pool and are best from May to September.

Academy Pop Up Exhibition

• Access to a power supply so we can provide media for the event
• Approx 3m x 1m floor space for an indoor event
• Approx 3m² floor space for an outdoor event to house a gazebo
• If there is a folding table on location that is also useful too, but we can also provide these upon request

Pop Up Try Dive Shark Pool

• The above ground pool requires a flat area of space 5m²
• Access to a power supply so we can provide media for the event
