"a mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go

back to its old dimensions"

 

Going on Holiday?

Are you planning your holidays and thinking of getting away from the cold. Then why not learn to dive before you go. Scuba diving courses on holiday are OK, but why spend your vacation in a classroom and swimming pool - do all that here at home - then enjoy your holiday and have the benefit of just 'diving' while you are away!

 

For qualified divers we run pre-holiday skill sessions in a 6m swimming pool. Practice your buoyancy and basic skills just before you go away. Log the experience and have PADI professional verify the dive. These sessions are also useful to get back in the water after  a period of in-active scuba diving.

 

 

Pool Sessions

We have pool session available for scuba diving; training, development and skill practice. Our main pool night is at the Inkerman Leisure pool in Denby Dale on a Wednesday at 7.45pm. We also use the 6m pool at Ponds Forge in Sheffield most weeks. We can also arrange other pool sessions almost any night - flexibility is our key.

Air and Nitrox Fills

We now have facilities to fill cylinders with air and nitrox to 300bar. Unfortunately we don't have a drop in service, as we are not a retail outlet. But if you telephone us with your requirements, we will sort you out ASAP with whatever you need. For those who dive with us regularly we can transport filled cylinders to dive sites. We have a nitrox cylinders available for hire. We can also arrange cylinder servicing and O2 cleaning.

 

 

Menorca again

Once again we've just had a wonderful trip to Cala Blanca in Menorca. This beautiful Mediterranean island as become a firm favourite dive destination for us. Located as a protected biosphere reserve, there is plenty of safe, environmentally friendly diving to be done in the island's warm, crystalline waters.  Here in Menorca we have easy pondering dives just a stones throw from the apartment to caverns and wrecks just a short boat ride away.

Our next trip will be in October 2008

 

Stoney Cove - Splash In Photo Competition

This years Photo splash in competition at Stoney Cove saw two of the ProScuba team taking part. The day was beautiful and sunny, with more than 400 divers on site, making visibility a little murky..

Here are some of Steve's entries - good luck. UPDATE...  Steve gained 1st and 3rd in the wide angle category! See the July Diver magazine for look at the winning entries.
