I Bought an SSi course for my 8 yr old Grandson, they were brilliant the equipment was first class and he wasnt pressured at all, but relaxed and spent over 30 mins 12.5 ft down in Shipley Diving pool. He has been a few times now and becoming very confident in his abilities, it has given him loads more confidence and will continue on a regular basis Thanks all the team and the different instructors that have helped each week. very patient and safety based. Plus I brought him a fantastic mask ( better than mine ) from the well equipped shop. Well if you want an unusual present for a Youngster, i thoroughly recommend it.
