I am looking to learn to dive and was thinking of going to the national diving and activity centre near chepstow. Does anyone know what the instructors are like there? Are they any good? What sort of questions should i ask them? Has anyone on here been taught there?

Any thoughts would be good.

Well, it is cheap stuff and it comes almost from the local gardening store, but it works fine and it's very solid. We tried to destroy one by hitting it with a hammer... we succeeded but we really had to hit it hard - http://www.stde.ch/en/faq.php

hmm... Gavin, did you miss the C for Chepstow? and i wasnt too sure about the NDAC being in caps (capitals) too.

Now that's all out of the way back to the original question.

I have no idea what the instructors are like there, but a big question to ask is what happens if you fail...

You have to be sure that they will fail you if you aren't good enough, but equally have some kind of system to continue teaching and assessment without you paying to redo the whole course.

Sorry gents. My spelling and grammar is poor! I shall endeavour to improve it when posting. Any thoughts on the queries put forward instead of my lack of decent education?

what do you actually want to know ??

i dive and help train almost every week at the ndac and can vouch that the people at centre are a good bunch. They are always busy though and booked up for ages in advance

have you thought about joining a club like ours that is based in the area (plug coming) www.chillidivers.com

missing an i, mattered to harold!


as to the NDC - whilst the ndc team are good - look for a local instructor instead to help you - there's lots on this forum too (you haven't put details of where you're based)
