Events at a glance

Saturday 18th June - Chepstow
Darren Hawkins is arranging a trip to Chepstow on the 18th June. Fairly informal but a great way to get some dives in in a nice controlled environment.

The guys are meeting from about 9am onwards and would love it if you would care to join them. Diving from 8m to 80m (yes really!)

£15 for the day and the viz is usually pretty good. There is plenty to see and the underwater layout means that you will see most of it.

Sunday 26th June - Selsey Lifeboat Station
Darren is also arranging a trip to Selsey to Dive the Lifeboat Station

This is a really easy shore dive with plenty of critters to see and if you are lucky you will see the family of cuttle fish!

Its free to park, free to get in and only a short walk from the place where you will park. You can dive as many times as you like and its easy to dive for an hour or more regardless of how good or bad your air consumption is!

Thursday 7th July - Club Quiz Night
Now that Summer is well and truly here its time to finally get in the water and club night is a great place to find some inspiration and a buddy

And what better way to vet your buddy than to check out just how clever they are!

All money raised from the event will go to the RNLI and the winning team gets to hold the Golden Snorkel for the next year.

Any Weekend!
We want to get in a lot more local cheap diving so keep an eye out to see who is up to what.

We will be organising some days out to dive Swanage Pier, Selsey Lifeboat station, Chesil Cove, Chepstow, Vobster and Stoney Cove. We may even venture over to Kent and try out Buckland.

If you fancy organising a trip (which simply entails you telling some people that you are going) then please jump in!

Facebook
There are plenty of people diving regularly with open invites coming from all angles!

Check out the facebook page to see what's going on and when...

Wednesday Evenings - Wraysbury
Don't forget the house reef! There are Wednesday evening dives going on most weeks as well as weekend splashes for anyone who fancies it.

Emergency First Response Instructor (EFRi)

The Emergency First Response Instructor course enables you to teach first aid and how to respond in an emergency. You don't have to be a diver to take this course. It is relevant to everyday situations.

Minimum Age: 18 years old

About the Course

During the Emergency First Response Instructor course, you will build on your skill as an Emergency Responder and focus on developing your instructional abilities to teach these skills to others. The Instructor course provides you with the additional training necessary to teach the Emergency First Response Primary Care (CPR), Secondary Care (First Aid) and Care for Children courses. (Region-specific courses including First Aid at Work Asia Pacific and First Aid at Work Great Britain require additional training.) Through a multi-media approach of independent study, classroom sessions and practical teaching assignments, you learn to conduct Emergency First Response courses.

The instructor course covers specific goals and performance requirements for the Primary Care, Secondary Care and Care for Children courses, along with instruction on how to structure learning, the requirements of performance-based training, and your role as the instructor in the learning environment. You also learn how to motivate students, evaluate student knowledge, present course content effectively, become proficient in developing students' hands-on skills practice sessions, and are taught how to present an effective scenario-based learning experience.

What's included?
All required study materials and instructor time. There will be a final certification & membership fee payable directly to Emergency First Response upon completion of the course.
