 Our club is essentially a group of friends that go diving. We don't have many rules or regulations but we need to ensure that everyone can dive safely at all times within his or her own limits.
To promote safe diving we hold minimum requirements to dive on our organised trips. We also encourage members to improve their dive qualifications. This should be carried out by a qualified Instructor. Our relationship with RobinHood Watersports means that we get preferential rates in the costs of training
The more experienced divers of the club are always available to talk to new comers and offer advice and will at times be available as dive buddies. It is in your own interest to gain as much dive experience as you can. The easy way to do this is inland quarries such as Capernwray, or Stoney Cove. These two dive sites are designed to assist diver to have good safe dive experiences. They are good for practicing your buoyancy. They are good for practicing controlled descents and assents; they are also good for practicing with new equipment that you are inexperienced with. The use of Surface marker buoys (SMB's) can be practiced at these dive sites.
The monitoring of what your new dive computer looks like and performs like can be done in these controlled conditions. Any thing you are unsure about or not familiar with should be tested in a controlled environment before moving into an unknown or unfamiliar dive condition (probably the sea).
The Robin Hood pool is available to club members FREE of charge for any practicing you wish to do. Anyone who feels they need to look at any item of the dive industry whether it may be equipment or diver skills.
Please feel free to contact any member of the committee, who will be able to point you in the right direction, whether it may be equipment requirements or advise you of the people to contact with the possibility of diving with them to improve yourselves.
We are all here to help each other and to have a good safe time and have lots of fun.
