South Woodham Staff have a go!

All summer this year Gary has been running a scuba diving camp for local school children as part of the Chelmsford Borough activities programme. He has had great fun taking groups of eager and sometime challenging children into the pool for a first hand expeience of scuba diving. He has not done this alone either because on every session he has had the assistance of some of the very capable staff at the swimming pool. Occasionally also one of the other members of Orca has helped out too.

This summer saw us using South Woodham Ferrers swimming pool which is always great and the staff are always first rate, friendly and helpful. It seemed logical to us that as we had so much help from the staff we should also give them the chance to experience what the children had enjoyed.

On Sunday we did just that and got eight girls looking fabulous in diving gear and from the look of things having great fun doing it.

I got the chance to simply observe and capture the scene on my camera whilst our new Divemasters were put through there paces as they each took on a group to talk them through this first experience on scuba.

I still really get a kick from watching people get in the water for their first ever diving experience and this was no different. Anyway please enjoy the photographs and thanks to the Woodham team for being so cool.
