Following a lost session due to pool closure, our pool season has been extended by a week and will now end on 5 March.

At the end of October we held a successful second-ever SSAC Deep Diving Course, with classroom sessions in Aberdeen and open water drills on the wreck of the Moray (off Cullen Bay), exactly the same as in 2005. Well done to all those who took part!

After that, the new pool training season started and things are in full swing already. Our new trainees are already getting through the various pool drills and theory sessions will start very soon.

The start of our pool training season for 2011-12 has been confirmed as MONDAY 7 NOVEMBER. The dates are 7 Nov. - 12 Dec. and then 9 Jan. - 27 Feb. 2012 (a total of 14 weeks).

Anyone wishing to learn to dive with us (or cross-over from another organisation, if needing any pool training) should get in contact before November for further details.

I know it is (very!) early dates but if you are thinking of learning to dive this winter, you may be interested in knowing the tentative (pending Aberdeen City Council allocation) pool dates we have requested. There will be 2 blocks of sessions (7 Nov. - 12 Dec. 2011 and 9 Jan. - 27 Feb. 2012) - 13 sessions in total. We aim to continue training at the Aberdeen Grammar School pool on Mon. nights from 20:15-22:00. If interested, please contact us anytime and we'll update you once the dates have been confirmed.

We are back at the Aberdeen Grammar School pool on Monday nights, following the pool closure due to plant breakdown. Since we lost quite a few sessions earlier in the training season, we will be extending our pool season until the end of April. The last pool session will be 25 April. See you at the pool!
