Hi everyone!
The marathon of GIAG events goes on! Let’s slow down a little bit and have a closer look at the Scuba Diving Taster Session.
The session kicked off at 8pm at Fulwood Leisure Centre where the pool was hired exclusively for our use. Each of us were assigned to personal instructor and given preparation for our first dive.
The most alarming fact for me - you have to spit in your goggles and spread it around in order to keep the goggles from fogging up. Being the lady I am, I was rather hesitant to do that but then I realized that it was better than to rinse it with water all the time.
After a short introduction to underwater sign language we finally went under. The first few breaths you take under the surface are a little bit weird, but when you get used to it you realize how wonderful it is. While doing various exercises, we learned how to cope with the underwater pressure, taught how to use the equipment effectively and how to maintain balance while swimming (which is surprisingly more difficult than it sounds).
Frankly, scuba diving is dangerously addictive. The hour just flow by without us hardly noticing. All those participating were enthused greatly to do it again. If you are sorry you missed it, which I totally understand, don’t worry; Preston Diving Club hold sessions every Monday at Fulwood Leisure Centre.
