hints and tips

 

In August 2010 we once again hosted the scuba diving activity for the Space Camp events held by Leicester University. Space camp is for 13 to 15 year olds and Senior Space School is for 16 to 18 year old.

This is the fourth year we have run the Space Camp and Space School programme, and it was once again a huge success with all the young people taking park.

Each week involves students from all over Europe staying at Leiceseter Uni and taking part in various space related activities. Scuba Diving is one activity designed to give students a feeling of weightlessness. Students undertake an initial PADI Discover Scuba programme to give them confidence with the dive kit, and then they take part in a team activity.

This year the teams competed in building an Escape Pod following the unfortunate crash landing of their shuttle on Plant Bounty. With Brian's Russian accent causing more than a little confusion, the teams had to find the parts to build their pod following pictures and a treasure map.

The team building activity is always a great success with fierce competition taking place.

If anyone is interested in running a similar event for Scouts, Guides or as part of an Organisational Team Building Event, please contact us for further details.
