We welcome both experienced divers from any affiliation as well as anyone interested in learning to scuba dive or snorkel including persons with a physical disability. Training is performed by Nationally Qualified Instructors in a safe and structured manner. Theory lessons are conducted in a classroom environment, followed by pool sessions in our indoor swimming pool. Open water lessons are conduc
ted at both inland lakes, and coastal locations including Arlesey Blue Lagoon, Gildenburgh Water and Stoney Cove. Throughout the year, we run Ocean Diver, Sports Diver, Dive Leader and, Advanced Diver training courses alongside a packed schedule of Skills Development Courses (SDCs) including First Aid for Divers, Oxygen Administration, Practical Rescue Management (PRM), Automated External Defibrillator (AED), Wreck Appreciation, Marine Life Appreciation and Underwater Digital Photography. We also pride ourselves in our intensive and very successful in-house Instructor Training Programme. With a perfect pass-rate (so far), we ensure all our branch instructors meet and exceed BS-AC's strict Instructor training standards. Membership of the branch includes both use of branch-owned scuba kit during training and the indoor swimming pool. We meet every Wednesday evening between 7:30pm and 10pm at the Hatfield Swim Centre. Mid Herts divers (also known as Mid Herts Sub-Aqua Club) are branch #1784 of the British Sub Aqua Club (BS-AC), the world's biggest diving club.
