Training With Rugby BSAC
Where Do We Train?
Training
starts in the pool at Ken Marriot Leisure Centre, Rugby. This wonderful
facility is available from 9pm every Monday and is used not only by new
divers but also experienced divers trying out new kit or enjoying a game
of Octopush!
We are also very lucky in having the busiest and best
inland diving site on our doorstep.
This is a flooded quarry at Stony Stanton, near Hinckley. The facilities
are excellent including a shop, air fills, excellent safety cover, and a
sandwich bar. It is ideal for basic training, and the owners have
deliberately sunk a helicopter, light planes, vehicles and a barge for
more interesting dives and to prepare us for more adventurous
diving at sea.
And When You've Qualified......
The
club runs regular week long and weekend trips during the year. Some of
the week long trips go overseas.
Other week and weekend trips go to the coast around UK. These often use the Club’s own fully equipped boat good for 6 divers, or charter specially modified commercial boats for up to 12 divers. As we are in the centre of the country we visit most coast during the year including the English Channel, North Sea, Isle of Man and Scilly Isles, West Wales and Scotland.
Once
qualified you don’t only have to dive with the Club. As a member of
Rugby Divers you are automatically a member of BSAC, whose training is
highly regarded world wide.
You will have a qualification book which will be accepted everywhere.
You may want to take a diving package holiday, or simply get a couple of
dives in whilst away with the family. This is becoming more and more
popular as people look to get more from a holiday than a sun tan, and
both parents and teenagers can enjoy the sport together.
