What will they do?
Try Explorers attend our centre along with their parent/guardian supervisor to allow us to fit the youngster for SCUBA equipment and then be introduced to the world of SCUBA diving, the equipment they will be using, how to be safe and, not least, the underwater fun and games that we'll have in the pool.
Then we relocate to the pool for the main event
