Take the plunge on a Bear Grylls Adventure Dive! Go scuba diving at Bear's adventure centre at the Birmingham NEC. The experiences are ideal for those who have never dived before & you'll get your PADI Discover Scuba qualification at the end too. Fish. Lots of them. Don't be surprised if inquisitive little fish swim around you whilst you're in the water. That's because the dive tank recreates the tropical ecosystem of a warm water reef so you might be in Birmingham but it's like you're scuba diving in the tropics. There are over 800 different species of marine life including Black Tip Reef Sharks (don't be scared!) & gentle Cownose Ray fish too. The on-shore briefing takes place in a recreation of a rusty old shipwreck
- the perfect backdrop to your voyage of discovery under the water. The dive instructors are truly superb taking the time to explain everything to you & literally holding your hand if you're a nervous first timer diver. Once you're kitted out with the wetsuit buoyancy control device mask tank & regulator you're ready to test the gear in the entrance pool. Your instructor will be with you all the way making sure everyone is at ease & feeling safe before dropping beneath the surface where a whole new underwater world comes into focus. You'll then move around the tank meeting the fishy residents & tropical marine plant life that's all around you. There are some scuba surprises in store too but we won't spoil them for you here! At all times you'll be with your instructor accompanied by a spotter & a safety diver. These experiences don't involve fins or swimming making the sessions as accessible & as inclusive as possible. It's all about gaining confidence in the water & seeing some amazing things whilst you're down there. Back up on the surface you'll be presented with your Bear Grylls Adventure PADI certificate which proves you discovered scuba in the tropical waters of Birmingham!
