Pool Fun

Already certified or completed your pool & classroom training? Come out to the pool to splash around and practice yours skills. Great way to brush up before a holiday, try out a new piece of equipment, or just get off the couch. 

If it's been a while since your last dive (more than 12 months), or if you don't remember basic skills like gear setup, entries, etc, then check out our Refresher page for sessions where you can work with an instructor.

Join in on some pool time at the Grant MacEwan Pool. Cost is $40.00 for all the gear and entrance to the pool for a 2-3 hour pool session (fees are less if you have all or some of your own gear). Pre-registration is required and space is limited. Please ensure enough time to pick up gear & tanks at the store prior to the start of your pool time.

TRY BEFORE YOU BUY! Any mask, snorkel, fins, BCD, or regulators. Come out to pool fun and try out a piece of gear that you have your eye on. Great way to ensure it's a good fit, the right size, and the perfect style. Contact the store for more details.
