Big thanks to Lin and Steve for setting this up, had a really good time and Eleanor loved it 
I was really impressed with the guys there, they were very attentive to Eleanor's needs and safety
Looking forward to having another go, so is Eleanor.

Thanks again to Lin & Steve for arranging as it really was a great thing to experience. It has confirmed that I want to go further & will be doing more of this in the coming months 
Echo what Mark said about the instructors

Glad you all enjoyed it, they are a great bunch down there, and thats only a couple of them.
Diving is a great sport and also comes with great fellow divers!
I will get some pictures of you all up later.
Also will try and sort another date for November sometime, if there any dates you can't make it please let me know, so I can ensure that everyone is available

From: Daily drive is a Scoob again - just what it should be!
Coz is still wanting to do this - nothing much booked for November.
Due to travelling a weekend would suit us better, but understand if the majority prefer a weekday evening. If you go for an evening the last week in October is half term & would be easier for us - just a thought!

Ok if you can put down, any dates you can't do in November and then I will try to work on that, I would like to try and arrange a weekend so that everyone that wants to attend can - so once I know I will sort a date/time so everyone can participate

From: family life is superb but i MISS my scoob!!
had a great time again and i actually liked the way the instructors spent time with us afterwards to explain what we can do now.
Did laugh at the main instructor when i left, he said to me "you will make an excellent diver". Maybe, but it's 1 thing swimming around in 4ft deep water in a pool...but 10m + down in the sea maybe a bit different!!! lol
Hils, even though you will be going in Novemember dont wear anything to heavy, the pool is inside and gets a bit warm even just sitting on the side.

Having you own mask is a defo if you want to do it, going underwater everything compresses, therefore you don't need it tight if you have it too tight you will get mask squeeze which isn't good!

In fact I have my children that day so will probably need to book a couple of extra spaces too. I cant see them passing up this opportunity.
