IT MAY be a little while since we were at school, but that hasn’t stopped us going back.
Over the past couple of months, we’ve been busy training pupils at Warwick School ahead of a bio-diversity project taking them to Mozambique in August.
After weekly dive sessions in the school pool, our training for the Year 11s is now complete, with the boys set to finish their Open Water qualification out in Africa.
They will be joined by students from the sixth form, who we will continue to train throughout July.
Our school outings don’t end there.
Word of our training spread so much we were asked to head to Coventry to give a lesson in underwater antics as part of a Project Day.
Sixteen students from the city’s President Kennedy School took the plunge in the school pool on June 26 for their first taste of scuba diving.
Not only did they don snorkels, masks and tanks to take their first underwater breaths, they also learnt about the fragility of the oceans and their life forms.
