Summer Venture Sports:
Scuba Diving
        
Scuba Diving in the National Rehabilitation Hospital Pool.

DAY: TUESDAY EVENINGS
TIME: 7.00PM TO 8.30PM


Our instructors, Gerry and Ralph, are on hand to talk you through the joy of scuba diving every step of the way. We will then be able to bring you up to a level of competency for which you will get a Certificate.

It makes no difference if this is your first time, our team will guide you through it. We also offer a follow up course in the open water of Scotsman’s Bay in Dun Laoghaire. In this course you will get to dive in the open sea and explore all the excitement that the sea has to offer. We will take you out on our Powerboat and bring you to the dive location where Gerry and Ralph will show you the joy of open sea diving.

For further information please contact Jennifer on 01 2355317 or email us at info@spinalinjuries.ie
