Scouts try dive
14 scouts from the 4th harpenden scout group attended
a try dive evening with Trident sub aqua club at the
Hatfield leisure centre recently. Two waves of scouts
ranging from 8 to 14 were given the chance to breath
underwater for the first time. Richard Aldridge dive
officer for trident who organised the event said "it
was a bit chaotic to begin with sorting out the right
sized kit to suit the different sized scouts, but in
the end they all had a good time. We put a bar football
table in the shallow part of the pool, which most of
the scouts enjoyed playing".
While not under the water the scouts had fun on the
giant inflatable assult course courtesy of the pool.
The event fits in with the club's intention of applying
for the club mark award, and for youth funding from
sport England. We hope to be able to run this kind of
event on a regular basis for other scout groups in the
local area said Richard.
Many thanks to hatfield leisure centre for hosting
the event.
VISIT TO DIVE TRAINING CENTRE, YORK
I January 12 members of the club went to the Dive
Training Centre in York where we spent the day, One
half of the day was spent kitting up in a Hard Hat divers
suit and diving in their 6m tank where we performed
various tasks as would the hard hat divers would have
at work. The other half of the day every diver entered
a decompression chamber at taken down to 50m where it
was good time to check their depth gauges,also to see
the effect on a empty lemonade bottles and tennis ball.
