We have recently ‘partnered’ with a local diving centre, idiveteam, to offer extracurricular scuba diving lessons to students.
This will enable students to work towards a globally recognised PADI diving qualification at a discounted price.
The course has been added to the college’s enrichment programme, and will cover everything from how water pressure affects the body, to the practical skills needed for confined and open water diving.
Sports lecturer Stuart Carrington organised the partnership after discovering a passion for the sport while on holiday.
I know from my own experience as a former diving officer in the Royal Navy just how much diving develops self-confidence, leadership, teamwork and camaraderie as well as a sense of wonder for the underwater world.”
