Try Dives

THE ULTIMATE RUSH

Imagine the ultimate adrenalin rush, descending beneath the waves into the silent world of the diver, you swim silently with only the sound of the bubbles coming from you scuba equipment. Out of the distance looms a very large dark shape, your heart quickens as you wonder, do I belong here? As you get closer you now see that the shape is in fact a wreck of a plane, having been underwater for many years it is now covered in marine growth and home to many underwater inhabitants. If this sounds like a rush, it is. This could be you with no previous experience needed. A morning, a little training from Bell Scuba and a sense of adventure is all that you need to get the ultimate experience. Bell Scuba is an SSI Instructor training centre with all training is conducted to the highest standards. Your wreck diving experience has three components: Classroom training Shallow water training Open water wreck dives In the classroom, one of our highly experienced Instructors will teach you the fundamentals that will allow you to complete the experience safely. Once you have completed the classroom training and a short quiz you will be taken into the shallow waters of the beach and it is here that you will learn the skills of the diver. After completing your skills training in the shallows you will descend into your open water dive under the direct supervision of your expert Instructor. The last part of the experience, the dive will occur at our dive training site. We have the wrecks of two planes and four boats for you to explore.
