So today was my first time in the water for day 1 of my open water diving course. The course was held at Freedom Leisure in Crowborough. After meeting the other people on the course and the instructors we had a briefing about the day and the dives and the swimming test that was required for day 1. We then kitted up and headed to the pool for our first dive.

What a tremendous feeling it is being underwater and being able to breathe. We did all the required elements of the dive, which were things like clearing your mask, swapping to another air supply and some other technical elements.

The day finished with the 200 metre swimming test and 10 minute float.

Thoroughly enjoyed my first day and cant wait for tomorrow and even more next weekend when I do my first dive in the lake.

So after completing my theory on the 13th June the day before I headed to Seville tomorrow I am off to do my first actually dive at Freedom leisure in Crowborough.

I cant wait to get into the water and get a feel of what u think will be another really enjoyable skill to learn.

Scuba Diving

Before I start this blog regards my diver training I would like to just say a massive thank you to Denise and Derek and the guys at Sussex Scuba for all their help in setting me and pointing me in the right direction to train for this discipline and learn it the right way.

If anyone ever wants to train for the register or just learn to dive this is a great place.
