First Open Water Dive
Today the L6 Adventure students took to the water for their first Open Water dive in the sea just off the Hoe in Plymouth. Visibility was limited but the water was a warm 16 degrees and all 5 managed to enjoy a nice swim around. With a short break, we hit the water for dive 2 to complete some more skills. Only Thursday's dives to go and then we will have 5 more qualified divers.
