To cover the cost of fuel and any maintenance overheads, the cost of snorkeling in open water from Naiad are as follows:
£5 per person for each open water snorkel dive from Naiad.
£5 per person for each shore based snorkel dive where Naiad is used as safety cover.
Shore based snorkel dives with shore cover are free.
All cost are to be paid to the Snorkel Dive Leader at the end of the event.
Costs are reviewed on an annual basis.
Due to the large amount of interest in the up and coming snorkel diver course, the pool practical lessons will be spilt into two courses, the first for adults and older teenagers and the second for children.
During April, Oxford BSAC, held a try dive and try snorkel day at Hinksey swimming pool in Oxford.
With over 100 free try dives and try snorkels taking place throughout the day, the club quickly realised how in need of new equipment they were.
Upon hearing this, a local business (who wished to remain anonymous) came to the rescue and donated £400 of snorkelling kits to the club.
Throughout the year Oxford BSAC has a number of Try-snorkel nights, inviting local community groups to come and have a go at snorkelling. Some of these evenings attract up to 18 snorkellers in the pool at the same time so donations like these are gratefully received.
I have a Basic Snorkel Diver course starting on the 17th June 2011:
