Blundell's Sub-Aqua Club

Affiliated with the Sub Aqua Association
(SAA club number 1069)

Training

Any student of Blundell’s School in Year 10 or above may begin to learn to SCUBA Dive with the Club. Training is also open to Staff, families of students or staff, and Old Blundellians.

Trainees must be physically fit and have parental consent if they are under 18.

[ Thursday afternoon activity ]

Training towards a diving qualification is possible as a Thursday activity for Years 11, 12 and 13. The next group of trainees will start in September 2008. If you would like to start training, come and pick up a form from Mrs. A’Lee as soon as possible. Places are limited to a maximum of 6 people.

It takes about a year to become qualified. During this time you will learn the theory and practical rescue and safety drills, how to be a good 'buddy' and how to make sure that your skills and abilities keep you safe whilst letting you have the best time ever!
