Mission Statement:
If you are looking for an engaging activity for prospective clients to remember your open day event we can create a unique environment for young people to gain in water confidence by taking their first underwater breaths with their friends and families present.
The Shark Dive Try Dive Experience is an opportunity for non-divers to experience scuba diving with our professional instructors and guides in the safety of a shallow water training pool.
Divers are provided with essential diving equipment and exposure wear as they explore a new environment and partake in marine ecology experiences.
Parents and divers access to underwater photos, promotional items and diver certificates from the event.
