The AUC has booked the deep dive tank at Kinsmen for scuba smart pool practice opportunities. In-pool start time is 7:30 sharp so get there early - suggest 7:00 pm. Pay $10 cash per person to the AUC volunteer on the pool deck & sign the AUC Dive waiver. Please be sure to remember to bring all your own gear and your scuba certification card (C-Card) as well. Can usually enter thru back-door (West-side) of Kinsmen Sport Centre, next to the dive tank but park only where indicated (do not leave car in emergency lanes, drop off gear quickly, then move vehicle). Or bring gear thru front cashier & tell them you're with the AUC pool rental.
Contact your local favourite dive centre for any rentals (tanks, weights, bc, regs, etc) as you must bring everything with you. Note: No instructor is available at the Kinsmen during these pool times. Helpful hints from other friendly divers present is all you can expect.
BUT ..... If you haven't been wet lately? Need a full scuba refresher? Please contact your favourite dive centre or instructor and book a scuba skills update or full refresher with them. If you wish, your independant or dive centre instructor is welcome on the dates below at the Kinsmen Pool at $10pp, plus AUC membership & Instructor Insurance card.
Alberta Scuba Divers participating at the Kinsmen are asked to renew their AUC Membership if due or take advantage of the automatic sign up as a new member for your free 1st year membership with the AUC.
