AUCHENHARVIE Sub Aqua club recently returned to their pool training at Harvies in Saltcoats with a simplified training programme.

As the Scottish Sub Aqua Club that covers the Three Towns, the club are inviting prospective members to come and have a try dive.

Club Branch Diving Officer Craig Perrie explained: “In 2017 we have introduced a new simplified diving qualification “Branch Diver” which is more condensed and gets new members in to the water quicker.

“You will be fitted with a full set of aqualung equipment, then with your instructor you will swim underwater to the deep end of the pool.”

Chairman Craig Perkins said: “Diving is the closest feeling we can get to being in space, an alien environment with some amazing things to see. People believe diving is an expensive and dangerous sport, there is kit to buy and there are risks however we train our members to mitigate those risks and we have kit for new members to borrow until they can get their own.”

Pool sessions are 8.45pm on a Tuesday evening at Auchenharvie Pool. To book a try dive call for £15, Nicole Fitzpatrick 07814 429 227.
