Theory Lesson Schedule

We teach diving theory lessons at our Club Hut in Tilgate Park.

The following tables represent our current schedule for theory lessons. If a particular section is blank, then the programme for that diver grade is still being planned.

Lecture sessions are usually on Tuesdays, and start at 20:00. Please be on time.

Theory Assessments will be run on Tuesdays by arrangement with the Diving Officer or Training Officer(s), and should not be taken until all the preceding lessons (see Qualification Log Book) have been completed.

Overall Schedule

Courses are run regularly in response to demand. Please let the Diving Officer know what you need to do.
