The Dive School
"It’s become one of the main stays of the business, the Dive School"
It’s become one of the main stays of the business, the Dive School. We have a clientele by word of mouth, always have had. Basically, to learn to dive, people are all, and it comes from all the ages, we get people across the board, from teenagers to pensioners, so sometimes in their life they’ve seen, “oh, I’d love to try that, I’m absolutely dying to try learning to dive,” so you get people in their sixties and diving is really all about diving to your own capabilities, you know, your own limits. It’s not a competitive, it’s not a sport, it’s a, it’s wrong to call it a sport, it’s a pastime, so it’s something which can be done in, to whatever level you want to do it to.
