Pool Training
Pool training within Scotsac will familiarise you with scuba diving equipment and its use in a safe environment, and introduce you to the skills that you apply once you get to the sea. Our instruction is on a one-to-one basis with accredited Instructors who are experienced divers within the club. If you are thinking about training with us, please contact us using the contacts form. Many new divers prefer to start with a try-a-dive session. Training begins with a series of swimming and snorkelling exercises before a progressive introduction to scuba equipment and its use. We provide all equipment apart from fins, snorkel and mask but you can borrow those to start with (see equipment and costs page). Because our pool season only runs November-March, you normally need to start pool training no later than January in order to complete all the necessary training that will let you get out into the sea by April.
2024 DATES
Pool training starts Nov. 2024 (precise date tbc) and finishes in late March 2025. Our pool sessions are on Tuesday nights (20:15-21:30) at the International School of Aberdeen (ISA) on North Deeside Road.
