Ever Thought About Learning to Scuba Dive?

If you’ve always been curious about scuba diving but weren’t quite sure how to get started, now’s the perfect opportunity to give it a go — right here in Rugby!

Rugby Divers, your local sub-aqua club, hosts Try Dives on the third Tuesday evening of every month at the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Sports Centre.

Whether you’re thinking ahead to an upcoming holiday, looking to try something completely new, or finally ready to tick diving off your bucket list, a Try Dive is the ideal first step.

Open to almost anyone aged 14 and over, each session includes:

  • A friendly introduction to scuba diving equipment and basic skills with a qualified BSAC instructor

  • Followed by an exciting 1-hour pool dive to experience the thrill of breathing underwater

And if you enjoy your Try Dive — which we think you will — you can continue your journey with us by enrolling on the BSAC Ocean Diver course. This internationally recognised qualification is your gateway to exploring incredible dive sites across the UK and around the world.

Come and see what scuba diving is all about — your underwater adventure starts here!

What will happen on the night?

  • Meet in the Soft Play Area (just past the climbing wall) at the Queens Diamond Jubilee Centre
  • You’ll receive a short briefing on BSAC, our club and the equipment you will use in the pool
  • 1 hr session in the pool under full instruction from one of our friendly instructors


What will I need to bring?

  • Swim wear & towel
  • An old T-shirt (to wear in the water)
  • Your own dive mask (if you have one)
  • A £1 coin for the changing room locker
  • All other equipment is provided


How old do I have to be and how fit?

  • Try Dive participants must be over the age of 14
  • Certain medical problems may prevent you from diving e.g. asthma, diabetes, perforated ear etc.
  • Participants will be asked to sign a Medical & Responsibility Declaration
  • Under 18’s will need a parent/guardian to be present during the try dive
  • We will require ‘proof of age’ for juniors


What next?

If you really enjoy your try dive and want to continue learning about diving and experience more we will discuss how you become a member of our club and what you will need to do to become an Ocean Diver.
