MAKING use of the lottery-funded equipment, nine new members are half-way through their scuba dive training, and looking for to their first open water dive next month.

A new scuba diving course for anyone aged from 12 upwards, and a snorkel course, for eight to 12-year-olds, and open to parents, will start in January. All new members will receive free training and free loan of equipment during basic pool training.

One-hour Try-a-dive and gift vouchers are also available.
