Ever since you were a kid you’ve always wanted to try it.
Now you can!
Your first step is to come and get wet with us in the pool for your first breath underwater.
Come along and meet us at the Dive Centre!
You can’t miss us! We are the Big blue & white building with a zebra crossing out front, by the entrance to Maidstone Leisure Centre Car Park.
Come and enjoy a quick and easy experience of what it’s like to blow bubbles underwater.
Please remember that you do have to book a space. Call 01622 212 022 to reserve your place or book online.
You do need to be in good health to join in the fun so please check the medical questions at the bottom of the page.
PADI Discover Scuba Diving
- Is held every Tuesday and Thursday evening. It gives you a great overview of what it’s like to both learn and enjoy diving – and there are a few laughs too!
- You’re with us from 7.15pm for the brief “talky-teachy” bit in the classroom explaining the safety rules and how to have fun underwater.
- Then we’re at the pool at 9pm for about 20 minutes in the shallow pool (waist deep so you can stand up if you’re not sure about anything we’re doing). We’ll introduce some basic skills that enable you to progress deeper in the dive pool – it’s actually module one of the PADI Open Water course, so you get a good idea of what it’s like to take the course and get qualified.
- When you’re confident, we go to the deep pool for about 30mins and play games to help you experience the thrill of feeling weightless and the sense of freedom you get from three-dimensional movement. This gives you the idea of what it’s like to actually go diving (except we can’t show you stunning corals & pretty fish in Maidstone Leisure Centre pool!).
- You’re in the water for about an hour – with all the equipment you need supplied for an evening’s entertainment. All you need to bring is a swimsuit and a towel.
- This whole show costs only £45 – but if you progress further, you get your money back – so it works out FREE! See *Terms & Conditions below.
