| FAQ: What is it?
The AUC's "Discover Scuba School Program" is designed as an introductory session
of the rapidly growing activity of Scuba Diving for
Alberta school/youth groups.
During these pool sessions (usually arranged by teachers/group
leaders) the students will learn the basic techniques of Scuba
Diving and will have a hands-on experience
scuba diving in a pool. This exciting program has been used to
enrich the physical education program curriculum in schools all over
the province of Alberta for more than 17 years
now with safe participation of over 20,000 students.
Who we are?
The Alberta Underwater Council is a non-profit organization founded in 1961
to promote snorkeling, scuba diving and underwater sports such as
underwater hockey in Alberta.
Who Can Participate?
Anyone who is in good health from the age of twelve and up. Participants
will automatically become student members of the "Alberta Underwater
Council" and each will receive a "Discover Scuba
Participant" certificate. Students, parents
and/or guardians with any health related questions/concerns are encouraged
to contact our office, the instructor and/or also consult with their family
physician.
How Much Does it Cost?
$30.00 per participant (Inc.
GST).
This includes the
insured
instructor and the use of all the scuba diving equipment. It does not include
transportation or the pool rental required.
Due to rapidly rising fuel costs - a fuel surcharge or a minimum number of
students may be required, depending on your location in the province of
Alberta. Please contact our instructor: Carson Ganci directly (see
below). This is a cost recovery fee only charged to the schools to help
maintain this program for future students.
Booking the Pool!
This is fast becoming the most tricky part -
as most community, rural or city pools are getting very booked up, very quickly,
very early in the school year! So
check your possible dates right away and then book your local pool as early
as possible! After that please phone or email our Instructor to check his schedule
& make a tentative date as soon as possible. For groups between 10-15
participants, 1 1/2 hours of pool is needed, for groups of 16-20 book at least
two hours of pool time. For larger groups contact our Instructor:
Carson Ganci directly for his assistance with the logistics needed.
